We are in Keystone, enjoying the holidays together as a family and with our friends, Tiff and Tyler. Its currently 6 degrees outside and I am loving it.
Yesterday, Rick and I FINALLY got a chance to ski together. We last skiied together in 2005-2006 season, so it was very fun. It almost didn't happen though because I couldn't stand in my ski boots. UGH! Rick has had numerous boot problems this season and after buying new boots, he found every problem was fixed and he was once again able to ski. SO, he didn't want me to suffer on the slopes with bad boots, so we went to a boot shop and got me fixed for a very cute new pair of boots (Lange). We actually only skiied down Schoolmarm at Keystone, but thats okay--it was very very fun.
After skiing, we saw a very special Christmas thing going on in the Keystone village that we knew the kids would love, so we boogied home and got everyone (including Tiff and Tyler) and went back to the village.
The kids were THRILLED to see Santa standing outside in the snow, holding onto the reins of a REAL REINDEER!!!!!!! It was cupid and we were able to have our picture taken with both of them--I'll post it after we get back from our trip. It was fabulous! :)
Today, Rick and Tyler hiked half way up Mt. Quandry (14,000 ft). They had a great time, although it was very cold and windy. Tiff and I were going to take the kids sledding, but instead built snowmen on the hood of Rick's jeep at the trailhead. After doing this, the boys were too cold to go sledding, so we grabbed some happy meals and came home...well...happy! :)
Its wonderful being here at Christmas time. There are extra twinkle lights everywhere, Christmas music is being blasted at not only stores, but the ski resort too. I like that...its nice that its "okay" to play Christmas music.
Merry Merry Christmas everyone!
