We went home for a week and a half for Christmas and New Year's. After a lovely day spent waiting in airports, we finally arrived early Christmas Eve. We got a little sleep that night, then had a great dinner at my parents with our neighbors from across the street. Christmas Day was a big get together with the whole Ginley clan and my parents. It was a blast, with great food provided by Ron and Gab.
The next day, we met up with many friends from high school, thanks to David gathering us all together. Had some beers, reminisced, had a great time.
After that, we got a good day of skiing in at Loveland with Max, Kate, Kim, Rick, and John. It was freezing cold, with a few of us getting some minor frostbite, but we took enough breaks to stay warm. The slopes were empty (everyone was inside where the wind chill wasn't -17) and the snow was good.
Things slowed down a bit after that. We played a lot of Wii, visited more with family, and finally finished a chest Aimee and Dave have been working on for quite a few years. It's made of mahogany from one of Dave and Lucy's old bed frames. You can see it's large enough for Aimee to fit in, but she's going to keep it filled with yarn. We just got it stained today and plan on putting on the sealant tomorrow.
