Man, this is a busy time of year. I can't believe it has been two weeks since I blogged. I wanted to share some fun we had a couple weekends ago.
First, we had a great visit from Chris's aunt Carolynne. She certainly earned her title "great" aunt with Penny! We headed over to the Children's Museum in St. Paul.

We haven't been to the Children's Museum in a while. It was so much fun because there were multiple exhibits Penelope hadn't been interested in previously, but now she is all for it. She loves playing pretend.
Then I left Carolynne with Chris and Penny and headed up to a girls weekend up north. I'm so thankful I met my friend Kelly at work. She has introduced me to all her friends and we've got a ton in common: books, pinterest, crafting maven wanna-be's, hollywood gossip lovers, etc.
Kelly's family's cabin is absolutely beautiful. It is on the North Shore of Lake Superior. The weekend was beautiful. We went for a hike at Tettegouche. I did this hike 2 summers ago with my family. I think it is more beautiful in the winter because you can see the water from every angle.

| Check out this bunny. He was huge! I've never seen a winter hare before. |

| View from the cabin...I'd call it more of a lodge. It was beautiful and all 10 of us had a bed. |

Oh my gosh, what amazing views!! Looks like you had fun on your weekend with the girls! I would love to get my friends together for a weekend hanging out and hiking, provided we have a cabin to go to. (This girl doesn't do camping. Ever.- ha ha!) Your cabin looked great
The North Shore looks beautiful! What a nice getaway trip! I love all of the fun pics and settings you're using on your new camera. The rocks there are so cool. Henry and I got a new camera after the wedding and it has a few fun settings.. I don't think as many great ones as yours but I really haven't tested any of them out. That's my goal next week on trip to the south with your 'rents. Can't wait to see pics next weekend of Penny's Christmas morning!!!
