With our Christmas money from our grandparents we got to spend a day of skiing with our friends in Colorado. Since we will be returning to the Philippines soon we wonder if this may have been our last chance to see snow and to ski. We enjoyed every minute of God’s creation and the grandeur of His splendor displayed in the Colorado snow-capped mountains.
We woke up early on New Year’s Eve and drove to Loveland to ski with our friends. I was so thankful to Kim that I could borrow all her skiing gear. It wasn’t until I got this picture back that I realized I looked kind of scary in my costume! (I’m the one with no skin showing…watch out skiers, I’m coming down). Thankfully I was very warm and of course got no sun burns.
It feels so great to breathe in the fresh air and swoosh down the mountain on skis. It is also really fun just to ride the lift to the top and see the blanket of sparkling white snow so smoothly sloped. This was my first winter with Nate and my first time skiing with him. It was definitely a joy and gift that we will not soon forget!

I'm glad you two got to enjoy the snow, Jessica. We had a dusting of snow last week, but nothing more. And with each passing day it becomes less and less likely that I'll see a "real" snow in Provence. Too bad, Kate!
Kate, I did like your photo of a bit of snow. It is crazy to think when the next time we might see it will be! "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas!"
