Christmas Ski Trip 2016

We stopped in Canyon on the way and opened presents.  I got this snazzy Aggie jersey.  We also got a GoPro that we used while we were skiing.

When we got to the mountains, Nathan was showing Aylah the runs he wanted to ski.

One day Jennifer, William and I went to Taos to ski.  A few years back when we hiked Wheeler, we caught a ride on the way back to our car from the owner of the Bavarian.  At the time we promised we would come back and drink a beer one day, so we were glad to be able to fulfill our promise.

Christmas at Home 2016

We went to Christmas Eve services at church.  I had to work all three services, so Jennifer brought the kids.  Here they are all dressed up.  It was warm (70 degrees) this year.

After church we went to look at Christmas lights, then we came home and put out some reindeer food

The next morning we opened presents

Then we had some coffee cake and played with our new gifts.  Later that morning we took down our Christmas decorations (our tree was out on the curb by 9am).  Then we packed up and headed out for our ski trip.

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Christmas Happenings

As always, we had a busy Christmas season.  Here are some of the fun things we did.

We spent several evenings by the fire in our pajamas

Next we had our work Christmas party at Main Event.  The kids loved it!

I’m not sure who these characters are

They also loved the games.  I think this was their first time to play at an arcade.

They loved swiping their cards in the machines, even if they didn’t play.

One night a fireman Santa made a trip through the neighborhood (right at bedtime).  Nathan was the only one awake so he went out to visit.
