MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christmas Eve saw us down at Gary and Margee's for their annual Christmas Eve gift exchange and "Steal a Gift" which is the highlight of the evening.  Everyone brought a pizza and everyone had a great time as usual.  

On Christmas day, we went skiing with Ike, Brenda, and their son Riley in the morning and had a great time.  The snow was pretty good skiing in the trees.  They had 10 inches of new snow the day before so we were able to make some turns in some nice powder.  After skiing we stopped by Doug and Rita's for some egg nog that was some of the best I have had.  Then back to our place for Christmas dinner.  Connie cooked up a prime rib that really turned out great.  We will do that recipe again!

Lots of pizza and the kids sure seem to be enjoying it.

And Connie is always hamming it up.

SKIING A LITTLE POWDER

We got to ski a little powder in the out of bounds area the other day as our ski resort is starting to pick up enough snow to venture out in that area.  Only part of it has enough cover to ski it safe.  Had a good time and hope we continue getting more snow.

Brenda in the snow getting her ski on that came off when she hit something below the surface.  Ike and Connie look on.

Connie caught a small tree that upset her.

As you can see, we need more snow in the out of bounds area as lots of little trees are still sticking up.
