Christmas Parties

It's still sunny and warm in the Denver area, but Christmas parties (as well as all the festive decorations) have helped to remind me that Christmas is approaching, with or with the appearance of snow.
Peter was able to go back to Madison for the weekend and be there for his unit's Christmas party. He came back with a lot of flight suits and uniforms and all the extras that go with them. While he was gone one of his cousins had a work Christmas party the same weekend, but here in Centennial, CO. So I hung out with Jan and Patrick. We had s much fun going to the Art Museum and to get coffee or lunch.
I did have  a taste of snow and pine trees though. Peter and I decided to go up to Copper Mountain for a day of skiing. In just a short time of driving we were high up in the Rockies with fresh snow falling. We only spent half a day on the mountain since they were forecasted to get another 12 inches that day. It's beautiful to look at or to be in, but not to drive through with our 2-wheel drive Jeep.
