.:.Christmas Night.:.

Christmas night Ed and Linda got us a suite at the Iron Blossom Lodge at Snowbird and boarding passes the next day for a fun Christmas present. We seriously had so much fun. I don't know how many times I have said this but I really am so lucky to have such an amazing family. We have SO much fun together! We were planning on taking Bailey with us and trading off playing with her while the others ride but Chris and I were pretty sick so we thought she would probably have a better time with her Grandma Cindy. Soooo we ended up heading up the canyon around 6 during a snowstorm good thing our Nissan is awesome in the snow. Then we get to the parking lot and got stuck 2 times in the snow! And I mean really stuck. Actually every car in our group got stuck so by the time we got the our room everyone was ready to get the party started. We had a glass of wine while everyone got there and then went to dinner at the hotel's restaurant. Dinner was fabulous and we had a lot of laughts. Chris is a Christmas baby so for only the 2nd time in his life he was sung to at a restaurant on his bday. (The first time was when we went to my families house in California for Christmas in 05.) Then we headed back to the room and got suited up for the hot tub. The next day we woke up to the sound of guns shooting for avalanches and apparently there was a really big one headed for our hotel and the whole north side of the building was evacuated. By the time the mountain was safe enough to ride on we had decided we will just come up another time and just hang out that day. We headed over to lunch and then the guys all dugg out the cars. Then after we got down into the city Chris, Adam, Erin and I took our boards to this sledding hill by our house and practiced a little. We had a really fun time and we can't wait to actually go boarding!
