A Very Merry Christmas Weekend!

   On Friday, Gus, Autumn and I made our way to Alyeska Ski Resort in Girdwood.  We all found Santa hats and red jackets so we could ski and snowboard for free.  I have a hard time passing up a free lift ticket, and it wasn't too hard to convince Gus and Autumn to come along.  We arrived home that evening to learn that Jonathon and Jess were joining us for the weekend.  On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, we had a flurry of activities around the house, which included snowmachine rides, outdoor fire, friends stopping by, board games, eating lots of good food and sweets, and just some plain old visiting time with the family all together. 
    After passing gifts, we got everyone together for a picture. Unfortunately, the camera wasn't liking the lighting situation, so the quality of the photos are pretty bad, but it does document the weekend. Jess's mom caught the crocheting bug and sent Jess a bunch of hats to pass out to people. We each found one that suited us best and I couldn't resist taking a picture.
Maybe we should have stood by
the "Hippies Use Backdoor" sign
that hangs by our front door?
And we couldn't resist silly . . .
Merry Christmas!
