A Good Friday


We spent the first Friday night of January up at my parents' cabin. It was an "adults (and new baby Sarah) only" getaway and we had a marvelous time. In the picture, L to R, Mary and Seth, Lizzie and Matt, us, and Krista and Johnny. Basically, 3 LeBaron siblings hanging out with our friends Matt and Lizzie--somehow we've all managed to become close to them at one point or another (see here)

We spent the evening talking and talking and talking, laughing, continually checking on the blizzard outside and the inches of snow falling all around, eating dinner, and playing board games and Rock Band and DDR on the XBox. In the morning, we made a big breakfast before cleaning and packing up. We had a slight issue getting John and Krista's car up the steep driveway and onto the main road--well, not so much "slight" but more like "major." After an hour of pushing and packing and shoveling snow and trying again and again, the car could not quite make it! We did manage to pack 6 of us into our Acura and leave the car up there until Johnny could go back with some chains for his tires. All in all we had a perfectly lovely night away--thank you to all 4 grandmas who watched our little ones for us!!

Good for you for having a fun adult getaway with good friends/family! Looks cozy and warm but that is pretty funny about Johnny's car not getting out of there!
