It had to have been the COLDEST day in history..

Jon and I went up to Brighton Ski Resort the day after Christmas to do a little snowboarding.. and oh man it was freezing! Brighton had 31 new inches of snow, so the mountain couldn't have been more perfect.. but lets just say we were lucky to have left without any frost bite.

I'm not really sure..

On the way up to the resort.. still warm and toasty..

at this point I couldn't feel any of my limbs.

Some SERIOUS Christmas time bonding with the fam..

and Jon is just busy being a total creep in the corner..

It's an addiction..

I wonder how many colors my hair has been??

and the most recent..


Now I just need a tan : (

If you can even call it a competition..

Ok... so we have started this new tradition to have a timed gingerbread house competition every December. Last year, Jon got lucky and pulled through with a win (but only because his roommate Chad was the judge, and not to mention that mine kept collapsing and I ran out of time, but whatever..) So this year, anyone and everyone gets to choose the winner. (Jon seems to think it's unfair, because only my friends look at our blog, but really mine dominates his)

MAC PHOTO SHOOT + CASS =

Who would have thought that MacBook Photo booth would be more entertaining to a 3 year old than Barbies, Dora the Explorer, or teasing her little brother ...

I'm pretty sure I have the cutest (and probably the naughtiest) niece ever..
