Christmas to New Years is the busiest season of them all. We spent our Christmas eve in Aurora with the Alexanders. The drive over took 8 hours due to snow and traffic, the trip usually takes 3.5-4hrs. We spent a few relaxed days in Aurora playing cards, eating, and playing more cards.
Christmas day were to be in Aspen and when we woke at 5:30am to leave we noticed Santa had brought us a very white christmas day. It was a full on blizzard in Denver, but there was no traffic, and we made it to Aspen in under 5 hours, just in time for coffee and presents! My parents had come up the night before and Megan has just moved to Snowmass so the Maiolo XMAS was in our tiny apartment.
After my family left on the 26th, we had two friends from Seattle come in on the 27th. Nonstop fun now for over a week. Megan and Justin stayed for 4 days and we packed it in during this time. We went skiing, did yoga, snowshoeing, ice climbing, dinner parties, and Aspen movie star watching.
Now it is quiet, just Cara and I, Finn, Rio (my parents dog), and Pecos riding his plastic parakeet. Hopefully we get some new snow to make for some more epic powder days. We have had 9ft in Aspen this month!
Happy New year to all....much love
