2nd Christmas!

Just when you think Christmas is over, a bonus package of presents arrives. Yeah! Second Christmas! The first present I opened was this custom flirty apron, hand made by my mother out of the very fabric I would have picked if I had known she was making me an apron. We went looking for fabric for everyone else's aprons, but I had no idea I was getting one too. I LOVE it!
I also got a 4 GB thumb drive that I already use all the time, a purple blouse (perfect fit), an ipod to car hook up thing (used it today so I could belt out Wicked songs in the car), and a cook book (so I would know what to do in my new apron). Thank you so much, Mom and Dad!

I LOVE SNOWBOARDING!!!

My friend Bryan and I hit up Sundance today. It was a little icy, but toward the end of the day we found a small section of powder with a sweet jump. We spent the rest of the day there, hiking up and going off this jump that would launch us about 30 feet into the powder. (We measured Bryan's furthest jump at about 30 ft. My furthest would be more like 20-25.)

Nice height, Bryan.

Me trying to do a board-grab.

This particular ninja assult on the snow went horribly wrong... It ended up like this...

My attempt (not my best one either)

Snowshoeing

Last Saturday we decided to take advantage of the snow and go on a little snowshoeing excursion. As it turned out we probably didn't need the snowshoes, but it did make Tag and Red Rover a little more interesting (and exhausting).

Lots of little pieces of our Georgia Christmas

I know we can always count on Lisa for the detailed report, so keep an eye on her blog for the play by play. In the mean time, here are some pictures from our Christmas Vacation in Georgia.
In no particular order...

Late night movie

Scott and Molly watching people slide down the hill.

Brian... in a tree.

I love that slightly concerned look.

Cardboard slider photographers

Tribute to Sasha

New purple coat! (Looks awesome with my red velor pants)

Princesses!

Twirling (one of the official activities at Emily's Princess Party)

Tired of pictures

Princess Bingo

Ryan was so sure he knew what was in this present, but Mike has some pretty mad wrapping skills.

Mommy, I don't feel so good.

Cute little cousins

My adventure with Katie across the stream

Filling his canteen

Flat Rock Park

Annie got so excited about every present; It was hard to tell which one was her favorite. This was her reaction (if you can call it that) to each one.

Katie was the perfect little babysitter. She was always holding Foster or helping the younger kids. Katie I hope you still love babysitting when I have kids.

Coca Cola Bear

My favorite butterfly shot from the butterfly house in Callaway Gardens
