Fernie, part 2

Here are some shots from our snowshoeing outing. Unfortunately, the battery in my camera died before I could take shots of John, or while cross country skiing. I was also trying to show how deep the snow is, but I don't think it really worked.

A bunch of us went to Fernie this weekend. John did some downhill skiing, and I snowshoed & took a cross country skiing lesson. It was a lot of fun. I have to say though, I have never seen so much snow in all my life. It snowed pretty much non-stop the entire time we were there. Here are some pictures of the snow around the chalet where everyone stayed.

Girls' Night Out

Four of the girls from our regular group stayed here for Christmas, so we decided to have a girls' night out. Marie-Helene, Melanie, Jennifer & I went to a local nightclub for a evening of fun.

Tequila shots, served by one of Jennifer's students. That's one of the problems we have with going out here. There's too much risk of running into students. We have to go out in the off-season for that reason.

I had 7 martinis, which is more alcohol than I've had in the last 19 years put together. Fortunately, I didn't feel any ill effects.

Melanie was recreating an accident involving a young girl in 4 inch heels.

That's Molly's new toy, a plaid beaver from John's friend Hanna. Those are John's Yorkshire puddings on the right.

Our Christmas dinner.

The leftovers from the present opening.

Why is my kitchen always a mess?!

Thank you to everyone for the wonderful gifts. We love everything. Here are some pictures of us opening our gifts. We didn't have an actual tree this year, so the little gold one stood in. In case you are wondering about the picture of me, I have a cut on my thumb, and I stubbed it opening the box. And the green silicon cups John is modelling are actually egg poachers!
