A snowy day...

We've had a really nice weekend, even though Martin worked on Saturday!

Dylan and I got to hang out with Nanna for quite a while on Saturday afternoon and then she came over and gave him his bath and put him to bed. Martin and I went over to Hull for the Stake winter ball. It had a chinese theme, and Martin decided on Friday that he didn't want to go unless we dressed up, so I pulled together some very last minute costumes for us...



My costume was simply all black with a chinese print wrap and some pretty awesome make-up. Hardly worth posting a picture, to be honest. Martin's costume, on the other hand, turned out brilliantly!

We went with the Mundays, which was extra nice. We adore that family (don't get jealous, OK Nick and Michelle?). They also drove, which was even nicer. Not having a car is such a pain!

Anyway, so a good time was had by all. Christine spent the night at our house, and I made breakfast for all of us when we got up this morning--American style pancakes (from scratch since you can't get instant mix over here). We enjoyed our breakfast, as well as the snow that had fallen during the night!

Yes, that's right, it snowed in England. It doesn't happen very often, which makes it even mroe nice. It was gone by around 1 pm, but I did manage to get a nice shot from the train station...



Since we couldn't get to church today (bus schedules didn't work out) we went to Hull and spent the day as a family. We got plenty of fresh air and a few necessities that we've been needing--like pajamas for Dylan that actually fit him and fabric to make Christine's Christmas present.

Dylan is asleep now, and we are just relaxing. Martin has another 6 day week coming up, and then he has several weeks with lots of Christmas parties. He's going to be working some really long hours in the next 3 1/2 weeks, so it was good that we got a chilled out day.
