Snow, Holidays and Pets

Well, the holidays are (almost) over.  Soon, I’ll have my husband back (he’s in sales and works his b*tt off this time of year).  I don’t know how he does it.  Even with him working, we’ve managed to have a bit of fun – we went skiing on Christmas Day at our favorite place – Winter Park/Mary Jane - it was gorgeous up in the Parsenn bowl (and on the way down through the trees and powder):

On “Forever Eva”, my favorite run – nothing but powder, great for a leg workout!

 

In other news, our annual Christmas Bash was excellent and a lot of fun.  This year, thanks to a good snowfall before the party, Tom got creative and decided to make what he called “Frosty’s Wake”.  Nice.

 
Some other random pet photos…

This is how Ellie Mae asks for a walk:

 

This is what happens after all her babies get a bath in the washer – dry time!  She carries them around constantly, which is very cute, but it makes for dirty babies.  :)
 

Fritz prefers fresh snow to a warm bed – ON ANY DAY.  Weird cat.

Winter is here.

It's been all about snow here in Colorado lately, and that's A-OK with us. lots of snowy walks, ski days and general snow fun. With summer arriving a bit later than normal this year, I wasn't quite ready for the snow to fly. Or at least I didn't think I was. But it seems I just love hiking, skiing, yes driving and just all sorts of playing in the snow. Welcome winter, I'm looking forward to the next few cold, snowy months!!
