Winter Wonderland!

Wolf Creek! This is where we stayed for a few days before Christmas. It was so nice and there were so many fun things to do!


We checked into the condo on Sunday the 21st around 4:00. We just hung out, played games, ate, and checked out all the fun things to do. The next day we headed up the road to the ski slopes to do some snowboarding! It snowed all day long so we had plenty of snow to play with.

Mom and Dad skied and the rest of us did some snowboarding. We had a blast!
Our awesome snowman! Ha Ha. We didn't have all the accessories we usually use for building a snowman so we did our best with what we had. The hat-a breadbowl, eyelashes-pringle chips, eyes, buttons, and mouth-sausage bits, and the nose-a stick of celery.

It snowed all day and everyday that we were at wolf creek. Pete scrapped the snow off our car before we went to bed and when we woke up the next morning it was like this.

The snow was really deep and Pete couldn't resist pushing me in it! It was up to our knees while we were standing!

There was a club house that had tons of fun things to do. There was pool tables, exercise rooms, saunas, hot tubs, and racquet ball. Racquet ball was one of our favorite things to do. It was halarious to watch and play.




We sat in the hot tub every night because it felt soooo good after a long day in the snow!


We left Wolf Creek on Christmas Eve morning and drove to Vernal! When we got home we had a really yummy Christmas Eve dinner! Pasta, steak, rolls, salad, pina coladas.....so good!


Christmas Morning! Pete's remote control helicopter was his favorite present. The guys had a blast flying that thing around the house!



Christmas Day at 5:00 we had our family party over at my Uncle Chad's house. We ate dinner, had dessert, played bingo, played chimes, hit the pinata, had a nativity, and had fun of course!

We had an awesome Christmas vacation and hope everyone else did too! We wish you all a Happy New Year! Yay 2009!

Looks like you had such a great time! Everything sounds so fun about the condo and all you got to do. I bet it is going to be a killer to say goodbye to your family when you have to leave, but just remember you have Pete now... he will take care of you. I love getting together but hate saying goodbye! much easier when you have a sweet husband to take care of you. Miss you guys and love you tons.

Dear Pete and Katie, I can't believe all the snow. What a great time you had. lucky lucky you. That Vernal has to be pretty high on the list of neat places. What did the city streets look like? Those cities fathers know how to decorate a mean street. Happy New Year..See you soon. We love you Gran and Gramps.

Okay so I am totally jealous and envious of your fun trip. The hot tub picture was amazing. There was snow all around, but you guys are in a nice warm hot tub. I totally miss the snow ( a bit). You guys look great and Kati you totally know Pete by giving him that helicopter. That is totally Pete! Miss you guys and Love ya!
