We had 40cms in 24hrs last Friday night. Skiing is great, kids are fine.

Not much new except the busy business of normal times. About a foot and half of snow fell last weekend and it was a lot of fun. Subday morning there were at the most 10 guys skiing together, old dads mainly, and we found some incredible spots and lines of deep snow. It started snowing again last night in time for the weekend again and looks promising. Some random photos just to get some up. Will at the Rogers pass rededication 125 anniversary in a new interactive sculpture(done by one of the ski dads Rob Buchanan). MadB at Canmore eagle festival, the others here at home.

Our week with a house full of company is coming to an end. Josie's sister and her family had a fun time from what I could tell, we got Ray and the boys out skiing four days. Our kids really ejoyed their cousins and aunt and Uncle, and for the last week have been spoiled and entertained by their Grandparents. I have had a realy nice break from parenting. Lots of skiing and work, featuring some very long shifts over the Holidays, New years was an epic 11 hour shift.

Holidays have been very busy with company and activities. Skiiing has been great and work was ridiculous over New Years. Will and Leif are pictured here at our Christmas Eve gathering at the Bowling Ally with lots of other families. CeeCee is having Christmas dinner at the Patry Home, and finally Madeleine and a new Barbie.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Will and Cecilia are out for some fresh air, both suffering from a bit of a cold and both a bit grumpy. Above that thoughare the three all together with Mt Albert lit up behind and finally MadB at her Christmas concert, we'll get more of those up next.

Will got out for a ski on the weekend. It was a beautiful day. The three kids are getting pretty excited about Xmas, and we hope everyone else is as well. We had fun time picking things up for Josie today, MadB was particularly kean on the shopping and selection of gifts.
