We decided to make a trip down to Charlottesville over the long President’s Day weekend. It’s been so snowy along the east coast that we were worried we might not be able to make it – and it turns out there was a big snow storm the day that we left – but it didn’t get bad until we reached Charlottesville. They ended up getting about 4 inches of snow.
The four day weekend consisted of a lot of hanging out and not much more, which was perfect. Mom, Dad, Beck and Ari all had COVID at the end of 2020 and everyone is finally back to feeling better, thank goodness.
The cousins had a blast, especially the two peas in a pod, Lauren and Ari.
They spent most of the weekend outside in the snow – sledding down the hill, running around with the dogs, and playing on the swings.
The dogs also had a blast. Murci is so old, she didn’t do much, but Penny and Petunia played hard all weekend.

Sophie finally got to meet Becky’s cat, Patches. She was in love. We’re still not getting a cat though 😉
Our last day there was Valentine’s Day. The girls enjoyed some Valentine’s day presents and lots of candy! My parents let the kids roller skate in the house (unlike our house), so they had their wheels on most of the weekend.

It was a great, relaxing weekend. Happy we were able to make it happen given the weather and pandemic. Looking forward to the next get together, hopefully soon!
