Christmas pictures

We started out our Christmas holiday with a trip to the mountains. For the past few years, we've gone on a ski trip with Brandon's parents and another family. I was a little nervous about how Eydie would do in the car that long. On the way to Crested Butte, we split up the trip and only went about 8 hours the first day, but on the way home we spent about 15 hours on the road. Fortunately, we took breaks often and I would nurse Eydie and get her out of the car seat to stretch a little bit. She slept pretty well in the car too which helped. Last year I didn't ski because I was pregnant and paranoid, so I enjoyed it even more this year. We had great weather, and the first 2 days we skied I wasn't even cold, which is so unusual for me. Karen (KK) and Connie stayed in the condo with Eydie while we skied.










Then we came back to a snowy Abilene and had Christmas with my mom's side of the family. We enjoyed being together for several days and even got to eat Grandma's egg rolls on Christmas Eve!

Just look at the faces of the people on the bottom row!
