New Snowboard!

Grant got a new snowboard for Christmas from grandma and grandpa Johnson and his uncles and aunts. I took him over to the local sledding hill to give it a try. As you can see, he's getting the hang of this.

Big air in Roxborough!

Denver at Christmastime

I was walking downtown the other night and snapped some shots of downtown Denver near the 16th Street Mall. Denver sure knows how to do things right - starting with the Parade of Lights, which the kids and I attended a few weeks ago - down to the lights covering the trees on the mall. Merry Christmas!

Skiing at Breckenridge

Last Friday, we had the pleasure of accompanying some friends of ours to Breckenridge for a day of skiing (Grant and I) and lounging around the pool and hot tubs (Elly). It was a great day - although cold and snowy. I don' think it got above 10 degrees all day - and it snowed most of the day as well. We had a great time and got in quite a few runs as it was not crowded that day.

Here are some shots from our day at Breckenridge:

Grant's first turns of the year!
