Christmas in VT

The second half of our holidays were spent in rural Vermont with Aunt Theresa, Zio, Joe, Rachel, John, Maria, Mike, Nonna, Uncle George, Amy, Will, Meadow, Bert, Ernie, Clarence, Rube, Knuckles, Stefan and one persistent stomach virus.

The boys really had a great time with everyone and were excited not to just have boring old Mommy & Daddy to hang with. I mean, not only was there another awesome little guy, a dog, a Nonna, all the most delicious food you could eat, the smell of burning firewood, a blogger who should never pretend in a million years that he can ski, a rugged female Russian ski instructor from New Jersey, and a real-life Englishman, there was two feet of fresh snow on the ground!

And you know how some snow is perfect for snowmen and some is just plain useless? This snow was truly the former. I mean check out the snowman below that Vincent, Maria and I built. We should enter that thing in a contest. My new occupation = Professional Snowperson Architect.

It was pretty flippin' great up there. Hopefully you've enjoyed the photos of our holiday travels. It's time to turn the page and see what 2009 has in store. Unless you'd like to suggest other places we can go to extend our holidays even further. My new employer will be cool with me taking leave after 3 months, right?
