First of all, we got even more snow since our last post- the mountains are just so gorgeous coated in such a thick layer of snow. Another foot, at least. Luckily it's packing down nicely, and skiing was actually pleasant this morning! We had to bring water from the lab to Maroon cabin- unfortunately the pipes have frozen for both John's cabin and Maroon (the nice one that skiers stay in). It's quite a bummer, but we're still lucky to have our water.
We found an evergreen branch broken off a tree near our cabin (possibly our porcupine's doing?)- voila- Christmas "Tree"! We piled up our presents below it and decorated it with some homemade ornaments.
A tiny teddy- isn't she cute? And miniature mittens!
Thayer made some lovely snowflakes for the tree.
I made another little stocking.
A few weeks ago, my mom sent me a fun little kit to make felted gingerbread men. Here's one of them (sideways- sorry).

yes, we don't have snow shoes. We wish we did sometimes, but it's fine without them. We heard you guys are getting super huge blizzards!
