And one of these lucky girls left the white elephant exchange with a pogo stick. They'll be jumping in the new year.
Then we had our small group Christmas skate party. Notice Brandon's mullet. Just cause.
Me and my sister. It had been a long time since either of us had been to the Family Life Center. Any other Abilenians out there remember birthday parties and lock-ins here?
And my adorable niece Ava. She helps spread Christmas cheer!
Sorry the skating pictures are blurry. Everyone was just moving too fast!
Zach and Kara working the couples skate. I'm sad you can't see her awesome outfit. It's a black one-piece pants suit with fringe and a studded belt. It made a reappearance from our 80's party.
And as soon as school got out last Friday, we left for the mountains with Brandon's family. I didn't get to ski this year, but I love the town of Crested Butte which I explored thoroughly.Our stockings hung with care.
The boys ready to ski
Brandon and his dad
And the girls shopping and walking the town
Our traditional picture in matching shirts
This year's idea for the shirt came after we went to the Eagles concert together.
Again, while the guys ski...
...the girls will enjoy lattes!
Brandon's mom and me
