Extended Vacation

Due to a large winter storm, Ellie and I are enjoying an extended Christmas break from school. The five days before break were canceled, so we have a full three weeks off. We had about 4 feet of snow and Scott and I can't bear the sight of another shovelful of snow. Our friends the Samsons came to visit and we taught our kids how to ski and I was able to cross-country ski a few times before the roads were cleared and opened. This is one of the reasons we love living in Wrightwood. Of course, we may not say that when we are making up the missed school days in May and June and want to enjoy the sun.
