The holidays are almost over and now it is time to clean up and put away decorations. We were so busy this last month, actually since Halloween it has been crazy at the Hansen house. Our family came to our house this year and with that came a surprise that everyone knew about except Elizabeth and I. On Christmas Day we finally found out what it was. We were told to go outside and when we did we found our cousin Tiffany from Louisiana. We were quite surprised! Tiffany was so excited about all the snow she was wishing for a blizzard so she could not fly home. Jeremy and his brother Matt had plans to go skiing the day after Christmas. When Tiffany found out she wanted to try it. I figured if she could do it then I could do it also. Since she has never seen snow. I had at least seen it so I figured maybe I had an advantage. So we leave that morning to rent our stuff and I was actually pretty scared. But I was going to do it. We get to the resort and I could not even walk in the ski's to get into line. I get on the lift which was not bad, but I was trying to figure out what I was going to do when I got off. I had no idea what to expect. I did not know if I was going to have to jump down 20 feet or if it was going to push me right off the mountain. Anyways, I get off the lift (which was not bad) except Tiffany had fallen and so I fell over her. We start going down the mountain and I can not even tell you how many times I fell. I never thought the hardest thing about skiing would be getting back up. We finally make it to one of the last hills and it was a big one! Tiffany said I am just going for it. We turn around to watch her "just go for it" and we see her tumbling down the hill! It was the funniest thing I ever saw. So we get back on the lift for our second time and we are doing good I think I only fell three times but on our last hill Tiffany fell, Jeremy helped her up and she fell again but when she landed she twisted her knee or something. We had to get the ski patrol to come and get her and she was down for the rest of the trip! But it was a fun ski trip! I would do it again. The next day I could hardly move I was so sore. We went sledding with some of the family, it was a blast! Savannah loved it! She kept saying she wanted to go down. She loves any kind of thrill.
