A January Hike!

Deja and I decided to start by headin' up Chadburn Lake Road.
Instead of following the road down, we crossed the road...
...and kept climbing.
The higher...
we hiked...
the better...
the view!
Deja and I like to watch the birds surf off the edge of the cliff! 
Schwatka Lake and...
the surrounding mountains!
Snow-covered, wind-swept clay cliffs
Time for a roll in the snow!
A winter wonderland
On the decline, there is an opening in the trees that gives us an amazing view of the lake!
I'm not sure of the correct term for this, but I call it "para-ice skiing"!
Deja patiently waiting for me
Headin' down toward the Fish Ladder.
We made it just as the sun was beginning to set.
Mike greeted us at the door.  Check out of the clinging mini-snowballs Deja brought home with her!

New Year's Eve!

We thought we'd share some of our New Year's Eve photos!  We went to the Maguire house, and Cheryl and Keith cooked us another delicious turkey dinner! (We were definitely spoiled over the holidays!)

Of course, Josh was the first in the kitchen fillin' up his plate.  He made it to the dinner table before anyone else.

Cheryl dishing up Helen's portion.






After dinner, we found the boys playing Wii games...

...and the girls playing air hockey!
I spent a portion of the evening helping Helene and Mia dress and primp their barbies for the midnight celebration!


Camron, Helene and Mia didn't want to miss an episode of "Wipe Out," even if it was New Year's Eve. 

We all watched it together and had a few good chuckles at the participants' expense!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 2011 is going to ROCK!!!
