We're wending toward close of another cool year; but first let's talk holiday season. We were, or I was, able to share some holiday times with good friends and great family. First up was a gift exchange with my Omaha buddy, Bro Brown. I got us matching beanies from the Partygrass Boys for us, seems so appropriate ~ Steve supplied the "party." Steve skied but I had to fix heating.
Matt and I headed to Summit together for a ski day ~ we stopped at Angry James for a pop before opening the Nest. I then snagged a ski day at the Key with the kid and some Dutch ladies when I was able to get Fredrique a buddy pass. Pretty fun; Matt & Eline exchanged boards for a run... pretty versatile all.
We, with LPC, were invited to Van Den Haak's for a very nice Christmas lunch early (no team pic), which was delicious. Eline prepared it all; Matt grilled; Kala did salad. Eline, as always, donned a fun Christmas sweater, which matched her twin Freddy's! Ms Van Den Haak scored a comprehensive ski bag from us, red of course. E gave Matt a keen McClaren jacket and Eline got nice ski goggles from him. Nice.
Christmas morning was snow-free on the Front Range but we had a spectacular sunrise, and a fine hearth.
After Christmas, Matt & Eline came to COS for lunch and some gifting (no team pics again... grrr). The kids scored "real" socks and some candy and we all shared some Proseco & Creme de Cassis (or red stuff) that Matt brought. Eline gave us beautiful yellow lilies (
joy, happiness, friendship, gratitude, and new beginnings).We really enjoyed the holidays and receiving or visiting family and friends, and all the cards and messages that arrived.
