A White Colorado Christmas
We spent this Christmas at Linde's folks' cabin above Cimarron, CO. We got about a foot and a half of snow while we were there, adding to the four feet already on the ground when we got there.
We had to find a way to keep Piper warm during the sub-zero temperature snowmobile ride from the car to the cabin. Luckily we found the very same outfit that little brother Randy wore in the movie A Christmas Story. Piper's response was similar to Randy's: lay there like a slug.
A cold but happy family.
Grandma D. insisted we get one with the bear, so here you go.
We didn't have a sled, but it turns out that a Rubbermaid clothes basket is quite a bit more effective in the snow. We packed little Piper like expensive china in packing peanuts. And she loved it.
Piper got a Build-a-bear named Libby Lou from her Aunt Jess. It was a hit.
And she got socks. Which were also a hit.
