While we were loading the car today, we heard gales of laughter from the cabin. We returned to find Oliver decked out as a miniature Sarah.

Happy Birthday Oliver!
We celebrated Oliver’s sixth birthday at the cabin. Oliver prepared by creating a schedule for the day with his siblings:
In reality, we didn’t really follow the schedule, but the key elements were all there: cupcakes, playing, presents, and games.
Tragedy Strikes…
Thanksgiving at the Cabin
We pared down our feast a bit this year to make it work without plumbing at the cabin. Instead of a full turkey, we roasted a partial bird. We made the stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, and pies in advance. At the cabin we added mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts.
Yellow Cabin
We arrived at the cabin after dark. Clear sky with the Milky Way above. Wolves howling across the lake. Snow on the ground, but not much shoveling required. Temps dropped to 10° overnight. Warmed to 35 by noon which feels balmy. Ice on the lake is thick enough for walking near shore and hurling the tennis ball for Piper.
