Thanksgiving dinner in the lodge. Jonell and I and our four boys. My sister's family and her four boys. Jonells sister and her two boys. Jonell's brother and their two boys and two girls. My brother in laws sister and her five kids. My mom and dad, Jonells mom and dad, Jonell's 94 year old grandma, Jonell's aunt and uncle, Debbie the cook and her husband and one of my dad's antique buddies. I think that covers it.

Basically we ate all day and didn't do much else. The kids ran around and we did the hot tub and that was about it. I made tons of gravy and no worries on running out. Jonell's brother brought some of the caribou he shot back in the early fall. Jens ate an incredible amount. I hope he sleeps okay. Expecting a major blowout from him tomorrow.

Snow in the forecast. Various reports are saying 1-4. They always forecast more then what they think but sometimes it seems like we pull more when they forecast lower versus the big storm on the horizon when they say 8 and we get 1 or 2. I just hope there is enough to groom and ski on by Saturday. I did manage a ski this morning. Basically I did hill repeats on Suicide Hill since the snow is best there. I think I went up it 6-7 times. Last night I rode the mountain bike for the first time since Cheq. It was cold. I think I am going to try those foot warmers they have now. I don't see myself riding much more until March except for next week which I will talk about in next post!!
