Friday

• Ran at lunch w/ Todd and Eric H.


• Downtown for a half day of jury duty.


• Holly's work Christmas party in Rogers. Pretty good time - overwhelming to be the new person at the party. Especially when everyone else has been working there 5+ years. A little snow on the way there and back.

Saturday

• 2 hr ski with Todd at Elm Creek (my first of the season). They had all of the 2.5k loop open except the small loop at the end of the tubing hill. It was pretty cold starting out so I warmed up quick by doing a few laps up the big hill. I was pooped after an hour and a half.


• Medtronic Children's Christmas Party. I took Lilly to this while Holly did some shopping. These parties are always busy but always fun. Lilly saw Natalie from preschool. They both are full of energy.
  
  I want a sit-on bouncy ball with princesses on it:
  
  
  
  A clown made Lilly a princess crown out of a baloon:
  
  
  


• Hit the Loon State Cycing party with Neil, Jay, and Hoglund. Great time as always. Rock Band and Miller Light. Always good to see Jorge and Mike Berger.

Sunday

• New snow (~ 2").


• Holly got an hour ski in (her first of the season). It was cold and crowded but still fun.


• Holly and Lilly went shopping while I finished cutting up the tree from last weekend and shoveled the driveway.


• Sledding on the new snow with the neighborhood kids.


• Holly rode the trainer for an hour and I did the elliptical for 30 minutes.
