Traditions live on

Birthday weekend and time for the annual snowmobile trip up to Granite Hot Springs for a soak and Christmas tree hunting (finally!) I am a holiday fanatic, well maybe not that bad, I don't have our neighborhood lit up with lights or anything, but I love December and Christmas music has been playing non-stop for the last 10 days! Trevor secretly loves it, but sometimes when I leave the room, it mysteriously switches to something else, not sure why. Anyway, here was a glimpse of our manic, action-packed-with-awesomeness, Sunday.

Attempted a morning of skiing out at the Village, but in the middle of the first run, my binding when haywire (look at the toe-piece all crooked and out of sorts...not fun to try to get down the rest of the hill like that!) so we packed it up. Not a huge loss as even though it was snowing, there is still only one lift open and a million and one people on it.

Next adventure, snowmobiling up to Granite Hot Springs, look what we saw on the way....

Some smart fellas waiting out the last day of hunting season.

Look at all the new snow! I am riding side-saddle here, haha, just kidding. I am only posing side-saddle for a pic.

Nature is so pretty. Isn't this just the perfect winter wonderland?

Love it here.

Now that is a shock to the toes.

Sometimes the first weekend of the year that Granite is open, you luck out and have the whole place to yourselves...just call us lucky ducks!
Trev was able to cannon-ball into the dirty, mossy hot springs water to his hearts content...

which was good and all, until he got to do this and then he couldn't get enough!

Time to pick a winner. We went deep into the woods to find some poor little guy that probably wouldn't make it anyways from lack of sunlight and love...and here was our lucky (well, unlucky for him) find!

Aren't they both handsome? : )

Our transportation.

And this is how we got our tree the next 8 miles down to the truck. Thank god I have such big guns.

Some more powder-doggin' it for Trev.

And the grand finale.
Happy holidays everyone!!!
