XMas-New Years

We spent the week between Christmas through New Years (plus a few days) in the mountains.  We did some sledding, swimming and lots of skiing with big powder days.


The first powder day was 8 new inches, and was really fun for the most part, until it wasn't.  B wanted to go on a black, which was fun, but didn't end well with him needing to be dug out by his brother and Bri crashing (waiting on MRI results for a knee injury).  

Of course there was a lot of cooking (in our TINY kitchen with many people there).  Ads taught B lots of knife skills.
Annual NYE fondue (LT was in Denver with his girlfriend at a party).
On New Years day, B, Ads and I headed to Vail so Ads could meet a friend and so could B.  The only picture I got was of these two in the candy store post skiing.
The next day Copper got 10 inches.  Everyone was tired (and Bri was hurt), but I wanted to go.  I woke the kids up and everyone said they were too tired.  As I was about to leave, I nudged LT a bit more and he agreed.  It was one of the best days I've skied (albeit a bit cold and windy).
