The Holiday Season

So Thanksgiving week was great. We flew into Denver, spent a week in the mountains at the Beaver Creek Lodge in Avon, CO. We didn't ski, but had a lot of fun cruising around and seeing snow and mountains and stuff. Larry smoked a turkey, and we ordered another from a local catering company, and we bundled it all up and had our feast at Chris & Jenelle's house in Eagle. Chris is Larry & Amy's son. C&J have a son named Nathan who is just two, and gave us an opportunity for some grandparenting time. It was interesting being at 9 to 10,000 feet above sea level, you get out-of-breath a lot sooner, and you exhale a lot more water vapor because it is so dry up there. So we tried to drink more water.

We came back to Houston, and I flew back to Huntsville the next day. After three quick weeks it was time to come back for Christmas. This felt a bit more relaxing, and quite a bit warmer than beaver Creek or even Huntsville. It actually snowed there after I left. We got each other a Wii for Christmas, and have been experimenting with the different sports programs. It is a lot of fun, and you can actually feel like you've been playing afterwards.

We had some moving companies come over to give us estimates to move back to Tennessee. All three majors came in within 10% of each other, so we will have to make a decision in a few weeks, once we figure out if we are going to sell or rent the house out with a management company. Right6 now, we are planing on moving our stuff at the end of February.
