The Snow Season Begins!!

Well we made it up to Michigan to enjoy our first snow weekend of December 2010.
We enjoyed x-c skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling.
We have about 14 inches of snow on the ground now and expect many more in the coming days.
It was a wonderful respite to get out of the city and into the quiet winter woods again.
Cross country skiing along the snowy pine trails in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore on Lake Superior and Snowshoeing in the same area.And then an hour riding along through the woods one one of the many snowmobile trails. Dave even prepared our backyard hill for the girls to go tubing when we come up after Christmas...complete with watered down areas to firm up the deep snow. He also put out our snoman post that measures the snowfall in our yard.The snow seems to fall a bit each night so it stays that beautiful sparkly white in the morning. It is like walking into a winter postcard. I will never get over the beauty of this in winter. We sat inside next to a cozy wood stove fire, snacking and watching old movies to relax in the evening. Ahhhhh just what we needed after an unexpectedly stessful week . God's timing for this weekend really helped to renew me for the coming week!!
What a blessing in our lives!!!!
