the holidays

lots of food. lots of presents. lots of wine. lots of love.

That sums up the holidays! Even though I was far away from my family, they still managed to send their love to Telluride. It was the little things like a fraser fir candle (so our house could smell like Christmas since we didn't have a tree) or a recipe for hollandaise sauce to make Christmas morning, it felt like my family was there in spirit. To top it all off, Luke and I rang in the new year with fireworks on Main St. followed by a concert and late night burgers. I'm excited to see what 2014 brings!

the best sunday

Sunday was a great day. I got off work early. Luke got an awesome job as a sandwich maker at one of my favorite spots in Telluride. I skied for the first time in my life (it was awesome!). After skiing I had the apartment to myself and decided to set up Christmas decorations, listen to holiday music, and eat mint M&Ms. The best Sunday.
