A Day in the Snow!

Being so near the mountains, our family has enjoyed the deep snow in the winter. This year we were not able to go up there until it was spring here in the valley! It felt a little odd but it was so beautiful and enjoyable to see the lovely white of winter in the spring!

It was Emma's first time to see the cold white stuff!


Big girl!


There goes Taylor, down the hill.

We built this "fort" to block the very cold wind. It worked wonders!

Heather takes some air...

...which knocked her sun glasses down her nose!

Ben takes some air as well!

Gracie dug a snow cave and said it was very warm in there. When there is almost 4 feet of snow, you can do that!


You can't really tell but they are sitting in front of the "fort".

David and Keslie going down the hill together! She screamed all the way down! hehehe



That is the hill they were sledding on.

We all helped keep Emma warm and happy! She did amazingly well for a little lass out in the snow and cold! I didn't manage to get pictures of Sarah and Lydia, but they were with us enjoying the fun.

Here are the dresses we wore for Resurrection Day. It was a special day worshipping our Lord, thanking Him for His immeasurable gift to us, salvation, and hearing bold preaching of the Word. After church we enjoyed special friends and family for dinner, it was a wonderful day.


The five sisters!

Here is Gracie's blue poke-a-dot dress I made for from an original 1950's pattern! She LOVES the dress and didn't want to take it off after I finished it!

She made the belt and rosette to go with her outfit.


It was really windy while taking these pictures! We had to finish early since there were branches falling around us!! Yikes!

:smile: I made her dress out of a (:whispers: a sheet!) The pattern is from the same 1950's pattern that I made Gracie's out of and it fit her perfectly with no altering!!!!





I made this dress out of the bridesmaids pattern from David and Keslie's wedding. The bright blue made for a cheerful Easter dress.

Sweet, lovely Heather.

Cute shoes to finish the ensemble!

Brother and sister!

Aren't they the cutest? :-)

I made this dress out of Butterick 5322 as a practice dress for another wedding I'm going to be in in June.



The necklace is my Grandmother's so it was special to wear something of her's on a special day that she would of enjoyed!
