Santa brought us new ski gear ahead of Christmas Day this year because we went skiing at Snowshoe from the 19th to the 24th.
Parker got lots of nerf guns to add to his armory. Skylar got lots of arts and crafts projects to add to the house. Nana and Poppa D came and stayed with us and celebrated Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
We were originally scheduled to go to Blue Knob in PA for our Christmas break ski trip, but it became apparent that they were not going to be open in time. At the last minute I had to change our plans to go to Snowshoe and I couldn’t get a room for all the days, so we skied one day at Timberline, stayed in Elkton overnight, and then headed to Snowshoe.
Parker swam in the pool Monday night after Timberline, and Skylar and I were barely awake.
We had a great time skiing, and the our room at Snowshoe (which somehow I don’t have pictures of) suited us well as they had a giant internet enabled tv in the main room and we brought the bed into that room so we could all sleep together at night.
The slopes were about 65% open and there was enough challenging terrain to be fun. The sunset was beautiful on the ride home and Skylar wanted to snap some pics of it, but the phone camera doesn’t quite do it justice.
Parker and Skylar made a window snowflake with glue, paint, and wood sticks and I put up a wreath, garland, and lights. Afterwards we decorated the tree with ornaments. It was a slow December day – nice to get some decorating done!
We listened to the Christmas song “Loot in the Hills” via Parker’s fortnite game.
