Merry Christmas!

This year we got to spend Christmas Day on our very own. That's a first. Seeing that we get to spend time with both our families after Christmas, we loved it.
So, after a very high caloric Christmas breakfast, we donned our new snowshoes and hiked up the old ski hill behind our house. Oh my. What a workout! But it was so beautiful and worth it!



Here's the old ski lift, that's obviously no longer in use. We climbed all the way up that white strip!

The cable is hanging everywhere

At the top:







Here's a litte view point of the town


On the way down, our snowshoes kinda doubled as skiis. It was so funny! it took us, like 45 minutes to get up, and it took less than 10 minutes to get back down!


From our household to yours, we wish you all a VERY Merry Christmas!!

A belated Merry Christmas to you! Lucky you...a hill right behind your house to snowshoe up. We had to drive an hour and a half to the mountains to go snowshoeing today!
