:: January ::

New Years in Girdwood.
We caravaned with the in-town family for the 10 hour trip.
Temperatures in interior Alaska reached -30 degrees and colder
while we were driving.  Brrr.
Lounging around the vacation rental involved knitting...
...hot tubbing...
...and reflecting on the coming year.  Yes we are writing New Year's Resolutions here.  Yes we are that nerdy evidently.
Heading to a cross country ski park.
You can just see the mountains through the foggy haze
and Gus, Aiden, and me in the distance.
Lantern Parade on New Year's Eve.  Skiers come down the hill with lanterns.  I've added downhill skiing to my long list of skills-to-learn so I can do this someday.
A pretty impressive fireworks show.
Lighting paper lanterns and watching them disappear into the night sky.
