Holiday Fun

I thought it was about time that we add some more photos from our wonderful holiday and all of the adventures we had.

Joe and I went on a great snowshoe hike with my family before Christmas. The aspen trees in the snow were beautiful!



On Christmas Eve, Tom, Tracey, Holly, Joe and I went skiing at Park City Mountain Resort.





We had a wonderful group dinner at my parents' house on Christmas Eve. It was fun to have the Cronleys, the Brewers, and the McCalleys represented!

We had a great time with Marin on Christmas morning. Although Marin wasn't quite sure what to make of the tree with all the gifts at first, it didn't take long for her to get used to the idea of opening presents! We particularly liked her gift-opening pose, although the rest of us preferred to sit rather than squat! At just 18 months, Marin already has an Elmo laptop and a cell phone! After spending most of the morning at our house, Joe and I then went to my parents' house for brunch and opened more gifts. We were definitely spoiled!


On the 26th we snowshoed up one of the ski runs at Deer Valley and had dinner at a restaurant in Silver Lake Lodge (which is where our wedding reception was). The hike was a great way to earn our dinner, and the fun part was using our new sleds, along with the old make-shift cookie sheet, to sled back down after dinner!


We ended 2007 with yet another snowshoe hike from my parents' house with several of their friends. When we get to the top of the hill, we watch the fireworks from the Canyons Resort. As Tracey mentioned, it is an interesting perspective to watch fireworks from above! This has become a very fun tradtion! After the hike and dinner, we had another couple over at our house to ring in the new year with champagne!

You can check out the rest of our pictures on our photo link. One of these days we will become more advanced and post some more videos on the blog! We had a wondeful time with all of our visitors, and we were all blessed to be with family for Christmas!

It has stayed very cold here, and we have lots of snow, so the skiing continues to be wonderful. Today is the start of the Sundance Film Festival, so the town it pretty chaotic. We are looking forward to seeing a couple movies and maybe a few movie stars (if I can recognize anyone!).
