Weekend Review: New Years Vacation!

We decided at the beginning of 2016 that we wanted to get out-of-town to ring in the new year and celebrate 2017 in style.  We rented a house at Deep Creek Lake in Maryland with Jared, Kelly, and Scot and spent four days and three nights playing in the snow, eating lots of good food, and enjoying a fun and relaxing new year. 

Here are about 23942 pictures from our last vacation of 2016/first vacation of 2017:

We left Friday after lunch and it took about three hours to get there.  We enjoyed a sleeping little sister and a big sister enjoying movies on her kindle to make for a smooth drive. 

 Caroline fell asleep and Elizabeth requested some picture taking :)


 I love when Ben drives!

 Front seat/back seat selfie :)


 Took some pictures of our drive to show my mom the snow

 
Saturday morning, we hung around the house and then went out to play in the snow.  We were going to try snow tubing at Wisp but the weather was too bad to drive so we stayed home.

 Caroline loves a good rocking chair

We had a lot of fun celebrating New Years!  We had a ton of appetizers and drinks, watched football and New Years Rockin Eve, and lots of champagne! :)  

Sunday morning did come very early with three little girls in the house...

 In the afternoon, Elizabeth and I headed out for a walk.

 Our house is right across from the lake

 


 She just wanted to roll around in the snow

 Elizabeth wanted to take a bunch of selfies.
She is so silly and fun!








 Monday night we played hand and foot and I had to get one photo of that.

That was our New Years trip.  It was a blast and was the perfect amount of fun and relaxation.

Happy New Year friends!

  1. Seeing these pictures at Deep Creek Lake made me so happy! My grandfather was born there, and my family has spent two weeks there every summer for my whole life! It is one of my favorite places on earth! I'd love to visit in the winter sometime, it looks beautiful! Happy New Year!

    1. Thanks for stopping by! We love Deep Creek and I am so glad we were able to take our kids there to experience it.
