Catching Up...

Things have been pretty crazy around here since Thanksgiving, and now Christmas is less than two weeks away. Time for a catch up post...in pictures.

Thanksgiving weekend with some of the family at Keystone

Daven & Avery (my niece and nephew) at Der Fondue Chessel - Avery was 3 for the night!

Chef Daven working the raclette grill!

Avery on the tubing hill before dinner.

Tubing with the girls from the office during the 2nd weekend at Keystone. Taking a little recreation break after touring the Resort all day. Followed by more fondue! Note to self: fondue two times in two weeks is too much!


The draft horses that pulled our wagon to dinner at one of the original home sites at Keystone this weekend. Storm and Shadow. There wasn't enough snow yet to get the sleighs out. But a horse drawn wagon ride while it's snowing on the way to dinner was still pretty cool and the dinner was amazing - 2nd best mashed potatoes ever - because nothing beats Grandpa Seibert's mashed potatoes.

And more tubing. Adam had never been tubing. We also did some snowboarding this weekend, but the camera didn't make that trip up the mountain. If it had, it might have captured me actually linking turns and looking almost like a snowboarder, or me during a couple of spectacular wrecks or Adam looking like a pro (to me) after a 2 year vacation from snowboarding.

And now, it's a cold and snowy Sunday in the metro area. Norm slept til 10 today and is currently snoring on the bed, under his blanket. And I'm thinking he's on to something!
