New Years Eve, Breckenridge style

To get away from dreary Kansas we went to the bitterly cold Breckenridge, CO....and when I say bitterly cold that is not an exaggeration at all, with wind chill it got down to -40! Burrr! Bryan, Ashley, Alex, Mike, Mom, and I all make the trip out there.  Needless to say we spent most of the time in the condo until the weather was decent enough to go skiing.  Although it was bitterly cold on Friday we did attempt to ski, I lasted two runs before my goggles had fogged over and then froze over, basically it was miserable.  Bryan and Alex lasted a little longer, but then Alex dropped his glove off the lift and that was the end of his day to say the least...even a drink didn't cheer that boy up! :) 
Since we were in the condo most of the time there we watched all the football games and played many many games of Catch Phrase.  Most of the time the women were the victors but a couple times the boys managed to pull out a win.  Not with the help of Bryan though.  For example his phrase was "Truck Load", you would think that would be easy enough to get your teammates to guess, but for Bryan it is always an adventure especially when he starts out saying "Alex! You have a poopy in your pants, A POOPY IN YOUR PANTS!!!" I don't think there was a dry eye in that room from us laughing at him so hard along with his "Boogie Woggie" phrase in which he preceded to boggie dance.  And, the best comment he made to my Mom was, "Debbie I swear I'll be smart from now on!"   He claims though that he does these things on purpose to waste time so that the next person is out of time....Good idea, but it rarely works for him. :)
For New Years Eve we enjoyed a Vintage 2000 bottle of Dom Perignon.  It was delicious and I don't really like champagne.  We finally got to see Sunday, although it was still cold it was bearable.  Bryan somehow managed to get a gash on the top of his new board, which did not make either of us too happy, but once we got back to KC he was able to take it back to Sitzmark and they are getting him a new board.
We are again heading to Breckenridge tomorrow morning for our annual MLK trip, this time we are being joined by: Emily, Josh, Alex, Randy, Amanda, Joey, Garrett, Jason, and Rainbow.
