New Year's Eve

Well the New Year is here whether we were ready for it or not! I can't believe that it is already 2011. Our New Year was not very eventful this year, which we are grateful for. Last year was eventful enough. We spent New Year's Eve and New Year's day with family which was a lot of fun and relaxing at the same time.

We did take advantage of the little time off we had from work and school. Last summer Brian went to one of Sport's Authority's huge sales and he purchased snowshoes for super cheap. So in the morning on the 31st we decided to finally try them out and go snowshoeing. The fun thing about that is that the first time we went snowshoeing together was on New Year's Eve 3 years ago. Nifty, eh?

We went up Big Cottonwood Canyon and found a trail near The Spruces. It was about 9 degrees that morning so we bundled up the best we could. Let's just say that hand warmers are amazing!

It was beautiful up there.



The trail we went on ended up leading to a bunch of cabins.


So we did some exploring and found a deck. You can see what that lead to.




We had a lot of fun running down hills, pushing each other down and as you saw, jumping off of a deck. And of course making fun of each other because we often looked ridiculous trying to get up out of the deep snow. Here, you can see for yourself.



Look how cute he is.

Brian had pretty awesome hair when we got back to the car. I had to take a picture.

I stayed bundled till about the time we got home.

If anyone wants to go snowshoeing with us sometime just let us know.
