Christmas Trip, Part I

We had such a fun Christmas break. We opened a few presents here at home before we left for Sundance.

Where we mostly just lazed around watching little people come in and out of the room being silly.

The kids played outside. There was so little snow that they were able to go all the way down, below the house, to the stream and the little cabins that are nestled alongside it.

One afternoon, we went to my parents' friends' house to see their animals. This is the same family that lets us come swim when we visit in the summertime. They are so nice to always invite us down.

We skiied for a couple of days. The first day, we put all the kids in ski school, so Neal and I had some time on the mountain by ourselves, just like the good old BYU days.

The next day, Neal took the older kids in the morning and Miles and I joined them in the afternoon. We thought that maybe I could just ski with Miles, but that was beyond my ability after one run. Neal took him over to the rope tow hill and I think they had fun for the rest of the afternoon. I need to learn to ski backwards, like Amy, his instructor did.

Another night, we had dinner at the Foundry Grill. Mmmm.
