A Break Called President's Day

I was so looking forward to the long weekend for many reasons. It was Dan's birthday, it was Valentine's Day, and yesterday was our 6 month anniversary! I was also really looking forward to getting out of Provo for a bit. We just went away on Sunday night to our friend Allie's grandparents cabin/house in Heber. We went with her and her husband John and another couple, Rachel and Stephen Moulton. It was so fun. First, the boys made a fire out in the snow so we could roast smores and Starbursts. I'm sure this made them feel very manly... afterwards we played games: Sequence, Ticket to Ride, and Pit. Then on Monday we had a huge yummy breakfast around noon and then went snowshoeing with the dogs Charlie and Deegan. We even had a little snowshoe race which was really funny...it is hard to run in snowshoes! It was so fun and such a nice break from normal life. Thank goodness for friends and holidays :)
