Well, it's a little embarrassing that here I am, writing about Christmas, when my last post was way back during Thanksgiving. It's like December just sort of slipped away from us. A brief recap would look like this:
Climb, ski, ski. Ski, climb. Dance recital. School Christmas things. Ski.

So, there you go. We are now caught up.

| Ringing the bell. Rach does this every year with all of the kids. For the kids, it's a two hour stint. For Rachel, it's ten hours in the cold. They have a good time though. Lindsey won this year's informal contest for who could raise the most money, coming in a little over $400 during her short shift. Not bad. |

As for the Christmas vacation itself, my parents came up for about a week to hang out with us. We had a great time doing stuff around the house with them. We got out for a day at Vantage to do some hiking and climbing. Christmas morning was relaxed and relatively quiet- just how I like it. On one evening, the adults were able to get away for some interruption-free conversation. On a different day, a few of us went skiing. Nothing extravagant, but each of these activities was punctuated with laughter, smiles, conversation, and shared appreciation for each other. It was perfect.

| Bowling is always fun. |
 |
| Going on walks. |
 |
| Knitting. That was a little different. |
 |
| And of course, playing games. Lots and lots of games. |
A little later this week I'll fly out for a quick trip to see family in Utah, and then this crazy year will be behind us. It certainly been an interesting one.
Have a good week!
