Up North

Joanna, Tabitha, Suzy, John, Jeremy and Shannon went up north for the weekend. They're staying in a beautiful house right on Lake Michigan. Joanna is celebrating her 25th birthday there today!

Happy Birthday Joanna!

Suzy enjoying one of her many naps! :-)

We went skating at a little community outdoor

rink for only $1! It was freezing but a lot of fun!

Jeremy warming up by the fire.

We had to park in the street and hike up the long driveway since

there was so much snow. That's our house in the background.

Overlooking Lake Michigan.

Joanna's birthday brunch :-)

We all enjoyed sitting around the cozy fire that Tabitha made.

Notice Shannon's salt. :-) She didn't have a glass at the table.

John sporting his lei and anxiously waiting for

dinner of chicken, mashed potatoes,

cheesy broccoli and rolls.

Tabitha decorating for Joanna's 25th birthday.

This is Tabitha's fifteenth ten minute nap. :-)

Shannon took us to a little restaurant in Charlevoix

for fish 'n chips and fabulous burgers.

Suzy cranked up the heat in the hot tub.

It was quite shocking to go from below zero to 106 degrees!
