Christmas 2014

We had a magical Christmas in McCall!  We left Boise on December 22nd, locked and loaded for two weeks in the snow.  Mother Nature did not disappoint, the snow was amazing!  Christmas was so much fun with KK and Papa Jim arriving just in time for the festivities. 
She wanted a pogo stick - this is the safest I could find!

 Coveted Seahawks beanie.  All the rage I'm told.
 I just didn't pick up the camera much on this trip. The girls started ski team practice at Brundage so we were on the hill by 9am every day almost.  I think I was more nervous than the girls but they loooove ski team and have improved so much in just 2 weeks.
 
I guess I could have ditched the goggles.  First lift ride of the season!
Usually she screams to go home, this time she screamed to stay.
Major breakthrough.
 The most fun was Christmas day.  11" of fresh powder and no kids!
 KK once again outdid herself with a wonderful Christmas dinner and handmade place settings. 
 We got to meet Sage, cousin Logans new puppy.
One random non-snow shot.
 Aunt Stacy and Uncle Scott came to visit on the 26th.  Just in time for more great snow!  Quinn is officially done with the bunny hill.  Stacy got to play 'sweeper' a few times which Quinn power wedged down the big hill.
 Messing around with Uncle Scott


 Skiing the Bear Chair poops a kid out quick.
 Top o' Brundage!
 Quinn and I stayed home one day to get some chores done.  She helped me clear the deck off. That was a hard workout!
 Then we played on the 'beach' with Ruby
 I should never take after dinner pictures at the Blue Moon Yurt.
Another great meal, this time with the Brouses.
 Sums up our winter break.  TONS of skiing.
 and beer boots
 New Years with Kings, Glavins and Bryans.
Kid parade!
 More skiing!  Delaney ripping it up with the U8s
 Ski buddy Lucy King.  They go to school together too.  So sweet.
