alyeska ski trip 5:18 PM

every christmas break since i remember we have taken a good couple of days and headed down to our home resort Alyeska. we have a condo down there and this is a picture of it. its a great place that my grandparents have let us use ever since i was a child. this place has a lot of memories and is seriously one of my favorite place on earth.

this might be one of the biggest reasons why i love this condo. the position of it is seriously not even a minutes walk from chair 4.

my dad and i love to ski and seriously we skied all of christmas day in bluebird(blue sky) weather. to ski a day in december with blue sky is a rare day, but we soaked it up for all that it was worth.

dad was a little sore the next day but i would be too by skiing terrain that is so technical...haha

my hat 5:10 PM

its becoming a tradition every christmas that i knit a hat. last christmas i knitted two hats. this christmas i finished this hat and i started on a new hat. when i finish it i'll let you see it.

Our Christmas Party 5:02 PM

this year at college we decided not to throw a big christmas dance party like we did for thanksgiving but instead we decided to throw a small sugar cookie making, ginger bread house building party. we set up this tree that bradley and i brought back from jackson hole slong with two other pine trees strapped onto my car.

These are some of the sugar cookies that we made

and this was the best gingerbread house made, aka it's mine...

if you would like to see more photos James Brown's blog has some good pictures also.

Jackson for Thanksgiving 1:44 PM

This right here is the peak that overlooks pretty much any part of Jackson, WY, it is the Grande Teton.  this past week i was able to go up with my roommate Bradley, to his home in Jackson for Thanksgiving and it was a blast.  Normal holidays it seems that you jsut do a lot of relaxing and at the end of the break you wished you had more time to enjoy the family and enjoy the festivities.  But it seemed like this week that everyday was a new adventure.  we had chores that we had to do around the house like prepare some property for the winter, setup the christmas lights, and so forth.  we were able to drive all over Jackson and really enjoy our break.  Even on Thanksgiving morning Bradley and i signed up for the Turkey Trot, which is a 5K race that was put on by the rec center here.  i haven't ran for a long time but i was still able to pull it off and get a decent time for not having run for quite some time now.  

Something that was really fun that his family does every year is go and hunt down the perfect christmas tree.  On Saturday we went up to there ranch and enjoyed some fresh snow as it was falling and started our hunt for the perfect christmas tree.  we found a lot of trees but they were very big or they were not full enough to be a good christmas tree.  bradley and i also decided to get our own tree for our house in provo and we decided to get one for Mallory, bradley's girlfriend.  the trees we ended up getting were beautiful trees, and best of all the tree was the best smelling tree his family said they had ever had.  

I'm not ready to go back to school actually im dreading these next three weeks but this week has been a blast and i don't know if the King Family will read this but if they do i would like to thank them for a Thanksgiving week well spent in Jackson.  Thankyou!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING 5:38 PM
