New Year's

Apparently I didn't take enough vacations during the year because I had lots of vacation days to use before the end of the year or I would lose them.  I took the whole week between Christmas and New Year's off.

It was really nice. It gave me a chance to work on my house and spend time with Andrea and Aiden.  We went sledding at Larch Mountain one of the days.  It was a snowy drive up there but I love to drive in the snow. 

We also went night skiing/snowboarding with Andrea's sisters Kristy and Kelly.  It was super cold (7 degrees) but a lot of fun.  Kristy hadn't been skiing in like 9 years but after a run or two she was a pro.  The girls sported hand and foot warmers.  I had some hand warmers from a few years ago and apparently they don't keep too well because they didn't work.

New Year's Eve we went to dinner at Outback.  It's Paul's birthday (Andrea's dad) and a tradition of sorts to got to Outback.  After dinner we all went to see "True Grit."  Closer to mid-night we hung out at the Riding's playing games, sipping Martinelli's, and watching Dick Clark.
