Logan Christmas 2007

We drove to Logan and the Twin Pine Ranch Christmas afternoon. Jack was reluctant to reprise his role as Baby Jesus but was willing to put on the Shepherd's robe. It turns out he didn't really want to be in the play at all but isn't one to pass up a photo opportunity.
Next year we'll still miss Elder Mikey but could have as many as two new girls in the family. Maybe both will be named Jackie? Maybe both in May? Depends on if Brian can close the deal and if we end up naming our baby girl after her big brother.

This was maybe the whitest Christmas I can remember. Unfortunately Beaver Mountain didn't get all the same storms we got down south but the Christmas Eve storm dumped enough snow that we skied fresh (old but untracked) powder all day that week. Brian (blue) and I (black) spent most of the time trying to keep up with Uncles Bill (maroon) and Jake (black) on the backside of Beaver down to the spring road.

We continued to get storms up to New Year's Day and I thought about maybe going to Deer Valley but then I remembered Grandma Smith took most of my Christmas cash (not really most, just some) in our friendly game of poker. At least I wasn't the only grandson to lose that night, just ask Brian, Curtis, and Dave.
