last date of oh-eight...

we headed for the hills today

for the promise of snow

and boy did it pay off!

since the kids were so young

when we moved from the midwest

3 years ago,

this was their first serious snow outing,

and they jumped in feet first!

they could not get enough!

this was reiterated 100 times

on the way home...

so we are going back tomorrow

okay, is this a cool photo?

a shadow of me and a small hill make my wavy arms.

what a fun way to spend the last day

of

2008

we are now nestled into our jammies,

feasting on goodies, sipping drinks,

and waiting for the new year to roll in!

here's wishing each one of you a

joyous and prosperous

new year!

p.s. nothing screams out of shape

like my lungs did when i donned

10 pounds of snow gear and hoofed

it through the snow...good times!
