Or so the word on the street has it...
Lots of holiday cheer in the Kellogg house now that we're on break and the countdown is in full swing. Boden and I spent the first day of break doing some shopping and had a nice coffee stop together for a mocha and some gluten-free chocolate zucchini bread.
We had another all-family ski day yesterday with a milestone event- the whole family taking a run together! All of us were on two chairs and I helped Alden get down one of the green runs on the little mountain at Eldora. She is very taken with the sport, and thinks the chairlift is just the coolest thing ever. Some bribery with "Unicorn Poop" (Skittles) helps keep the motivation high.
Reid is completely skiing-crazy now- I think he's gotten in ten days already this season. He's been taking the bus up with friends and enjoying some middle-school independence. It's such a cool feature of a friendly local resort, and it's nice that one of my good friends is Eldora's marketing director, so he's usually up there and is willing to be a surrogate parent in case of emeergency. I love skiing with Reid because he's getting so much faster and more confident- he's usually right behind me, and I ski fast!

We had a wild time last night for Lara Cutter's birthday- some good old fashioned disco dancing and many cans of upslope. Saturday, we had a nice dinner with Mom and Dad, getting a little festive time in with them before they head east for Christmas. We've been having snow flurries all day and it's freshened up our old, dingy snow on the ground, so it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Alden was wild about all those little Rudolphs! We'll have to make some.
