Winter Weekend


I enjoyed going to Winter Weekend this year- it's our annual celebration of winter in my living history group. We dressed up in 1860s clothes on Friday night and played various parlor games (including cards and the largest sized game of pickup sticks I've ever seen- the sticks were taller than a toddler). Saturday was the ball and today we had a party/lunch at a member's home. Then two other members and I went out coasting (sledding). What fun! You can see a video of us here. I have the purple dress and blue hood with the white maribou (swan feather) trim. Many thanks to my mom, dad, and sister for taking turns with Mirabel babysitting this weekend.
