I know it's a little late, but better late than never. Rick and I started a tradition this year, and we plan to continue it on: We hiked into the snowy mountains and cut down our own Christmas tree. I like the tall skinny Christmas trees, so it took me awhile to find just the right skinny specimen. Rick got a little antsy with the chain saw in the process and had to "practice" on the tallest tree he could find. Tear... (yes you have to tilt your head to watch.. sorry!)

We enjoyed Thanksgiving in our swim suits on a Mexican Riviera Cruise this year with the White family. We visited a beach house in Mazatlan, shopped the mall in Cabo San Lucas, and zip-lined in Puerta Vallarta. It was a fun-filled week, and much warmer than the snowy Utah weather! If only I could lay out in my swim suit, have room-service and maid cleaning every day.. ah the life :)
