Winter at the Lake!









Sun is going down at the lake and we are headed to the chocolate shop then out for pizza!
It was one of those great days!

Out Snowshoeing





Bob & Bud

These horses, Bob and Bud, took us on a wagon ride today! Norah loooooooves horses, can you tell?

Our Cute Little Cabin







We loved our quaint, cozy cabin which was right on the (snow-covered) beach at Gull Lake.  I love the the kids just wanted to be outside?!

Sunshine & Checkers

Sunshine and checkers while I sip a decaf latte and color with the girls.  Our bellies are full from a giant breakfast and we are headed out for some more winter fun!

Snuggle Time



Sweet dreams to the best little adventurers!

BINGO!

They had BINGO night at the lodge which was AWESOME!!! Everyone is exhausted here because of a very full winter's day but we followed happy hour and dinner with an hour of Bingo and came soooo close to winning! Headed home to snuggle and read in our little cabin!! PS - Bennett and I could have played all night!

Pool Time!

We spent hours at the pool (the kids' favorite part) while in Brainerd.  I don't take my camera out when we're in here but did manage to snap this pic of my crew before more splashing and a trip to the slide!

Love the Life You Live

Proud to say that they will happily stop to watch a sunset and will always thank the heavens above for this life!  We love you, Brainerd!

Gone Skatin'









We hit the skating rink first today - it was cold but that just made for more funny antics inside the warming house when the girls took a break.  No breaks for Bennett as he never stops something once he starts! I'll say there was not a dull (or still) moment while these three were skating, that's for sure!

Everything

We escaped to our favorite little cozy spot in Brainerd for a few days right after Christmas which turned out to be another memorable and joyful trip for all of us.  I have everything I ever need right here and I sure have been making sure my family knows that every day.  I am behind on blogging but full on life and love and trying hard to make it all count.  We had the best time in Brainerd; I am one lucky mama!

"Cheese, Mom!"

We always call her our greatest invention; I just love her to pieces. 
She was born to make people smile. 

Snow!
