Hi! I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas holiday. I've been super lazy about posting, and I think it's because I just don't feel like I have that many exciting things to say. There are still a lot of cool things out here to see, especially with winter, so I think I am going to start posting mostly pictures. This will motivate me to post more often and let everyone see what we are up to, as well as some beautiful winter scenery. Also, the picture quality should improve as I learn how to use my awesome, new camera! These are all from my phone.

Sammie loves us.

Getting ready to ski at Teton Village on Christmas Eve

It was really snowy!

Here she comes!

Our first time Cross Country skiing ... It is a great workout!

Sammie likes to sprint towards me a lot.

So, there are some scenes from winter so far! Some days are really gloomy and cloudy, which almost never happened in the summer, but there are still a ton of days that are sunny and crystal clear. It seems to be warmer on snowy, cloudy days and freezing cold when it's clear out, so there are pros and cons to both! (When I say warm, I mean 25 degrees.) We are having fun, though, and it is cool to experience a real winter.
