MERRY CHRISTMAS

Connie and I opened our gifts on Christmas Eve.  Early Christmas morning we headed up to the ski hill.  Met up with the Slaughters and another friend Dave.  Had some great runs as the snow was pretty darn good.  We skied most of the day, then the Slaughter family came back to our place, and we had a late Christmas dinner.  And it was really good.  Ike and Connie cooked up some steaks in cast iron skillets and the oven.  New way of cooking them that turned out great.  Of course we had appetizers, desserts, and a lot of other food.  I was stuffed.  I am sure I gained 5 pounds!  

Hope you all had a great Christmas and your New Year will bring many smiles to your faces.

Riley S. is a snowboard instructor and is waiting for his student.  Rustin S. is also an instructor but I did not get a picture of him.  In fact, we hardly saw Rustin all day.

Ike and Dave.

Here we are about to set out for the day.
