Christmas was great for the kids. They got everything they asked Santa for. Dekker got the "city" he asked for and Haydenne got "Cinderella". We were stuck in the house all day on xmas due to blizzard like conditions. We tried to get to Goldener Hirsh for our traditional xmas fondue, but the snow sents us back home. So I went to the store and bought some to eat at the house. People were skiing to the grocery store since it was easier than driving. Deer Valley got 28inches in 24 hours. So the skiing was good after we dug out of the snow. With the snow, the elk have returned. Just about every morning the elk have been feeding behind the house before they head up the hill at sunrise.
Work has been busy with the holiday crunch. I met a couple of friends for a bite to eat after work on Dec. 30th and woke up that night with food poisoning. I've been on the couch for 2 days now. The bad news is I missed a ski race, the good news is the Red Wings/Blackhawks game from Wrigley Field was on. Back to a big departure day at work. I have another race on Saturday. A bunch of the US Ski Team members are back in town for the holidays and are planning on showing up. Nothing like racing against the best in the country after spending a day with your face in the toilet.
