Eliana loved her first Christmas in Buena Vista spent with Nonna, Grandpa and Uncle Chance. We all had a wonderful time eating, playing and spending time outside in the beautiful Colorado weather. Two wonderful memories were of Eliana playing/chasing (I mean, tormenting) Uncle Chance (who's 14 and deaf, by the way) and the whole family snowshoeing to Tennessee Pass for lunch at the yurt. Thanks, John and Maria, we had a wonderful time.
Oh boy, I love dogs! Hi, Uncle Chance!!!
Which slippers should I try this time?

Eliana loved playing with Nonna's yak bell from Nepal, in addition to banging on the window
Thanks, Nonna and Grandpa - I love all my new toys
We were lucky to get reservations for lunch at Tennessee Pass one day; we hiked in a mile and had a wonderful meal. Eliana got to feel the high altitude and took a nap on the way back out. Thanks for a wonderful day in the snow, Nonna and Grandpa! This is the view from the lodge, just getting geared up to leave.
Lunch time!
