Merry Pre-Christmas!

We have 8 inches of snow this morning, the first major storm of the season.  Still snowing.

This is our new horse, a six year old Arabian mare.  We call her Sugar.  She's a sweetheart.

Here's another little sweetheart in our lives, a brand new grandbaby!  She's #7.

Grandpa is pleased.

Happy Christmas, everyone!  May your days be merry and bright, or snowy, whichever you prefer.

Snow Trails

We spent the holidays with family, enjoying plenty of Utah snow.  All the critters enjoyed a chilly romp.

Our daughter and son-in-law braved the trails carrying a couple of adventurers-in-training. 

One son and daughter-in-law headed out on cross country skis. 

Back at home, a couple of kiddos practiced their driving skills. 

One did some early morning shopping.
We played games, made gingerbread sleighs, went sledding, shared gifts, and generally had a fine time. 
I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays as much as we did. 
Happy New Year to all! 

Ringing in the New

We had a fine holiday season,

sharing gifts,

listening to music,

partying with food and drink,

wrestling,

doing a little riding,

and a whole lot of relaxing. 
We hope all of you had a good Christmas and are ready for work and play in 2012! 
No snow here, and the weather is relatively mild.  We're off to southern Utah for a few days on the trails. 

Wishing You the Season's Best

Merry Christmas from our corral to yours.

May your 2012 be filled with scintillating scents

and outstanding captures! 

We'll be visiting with family for a few days.  See you in the new year.
