STEAL A GIFT TRADITION

Last night the Mason clan had their annual steal a gift party at Gary and Margee's place.  It was a fun time.  Lots of laughs.  For those of you who do not know about this it is pretty simple, at least the way we play it.  Everyone brings a wrapped present.  Numbers are drawn out of a hat and number one picks a gift first.  Then number two can either steal the gift the first person opened or pick an unopened one.  Gifts can only be stolen twice so that gift becomes "dead" after the second steal.  I am sure there is a strategy there some how, but I haven't figured it out yet except for being the second person to steal a gift.  As I said, there were a lot of laughs!

 

 

Still cold around here (single digits), but we do have snow and warmer temperatures in the forecast. As soon as we get some new snow will be skiing again.

FROST

We have had frost falling from the sky the last few mornings.  It is cold with a cloud layer above us, but not very thick.  Thought it was snowing when I first saw the stuff in my headlamp yesterday as I headed out for a walk.  But when the sun came up, we realized it was just frost falling.  The crystals look a lot like snowflakes and I guess you could call them snow because they are just frozen water.

Frost on our deck railing.
