End of Christmas Vaca but Start of NW Ski Season

 Finally, winter is here!

Well, sorta.  There is just enough snow right now to ski but if the weather goes the wrong way we'll be back on bike way sooner than expected.  Alas, the winter storms are here now and in the city that means rain, but its worth it because 45 and rainy means more puffy white stuff just up the pass.  

Kian was excited to be back at it: day #1 this season. Although he was hoping for downhill skiing.



 And sledding on the final day of Christmas vacation made it easier to swallow.





Kiki's heritage project that we'd had all vacation to get done but waited until Sunday to assemble the finishing touches.  The kilt is based upon our Scottish clan's hunting tartan, the belt buckle is the Royal Scottish Emblem (Lion Rampart), and the face is of royal Scottish lineage: Kian Conrad Reid, afterall!
 

Trying on the new ski kit: helmet, boots and mittens match, check. 
Jacket and pants ensembles all match, check!  


 POW!
