New Year’s Eve in the Catskills

Sunday, January 9, 2011

We hosted our second annual New Year’s gathering up in the Catskills. 2009 was so much fun I thought for sure 2010 would be a let down, but I was wrong. Thanks to twenty inches of fresh snow, followed by Colorado blue skies we all had a grand time.


The fun started with a “luge” sledding track that my boys made in our back yard. Check out the picture; they did a pretty good job. Sledding was followed by s’mores and singing. What more could children ranging from 3 years to 14 years want….



The next morning the sub 14 year olds headed to Hunter Mountain to downhill ski and the 14 and older group went on an awesome snowshoe.

Snowshoeing is the best sport; it takes no talent, is aerobic, and allows you to quickly get into the woods.


Our wine and cheese spread at the top (which was carried by our 14 year old Sherpa, a.k.a Quinn) was just divine. The Go Vino glasses were a nice addition.



The festivities were topped off with a fun dinner at which every male at the table had on a Black Squirrel ensemble –- yes, I was touched. I like that Black Squirrel outfitted my friends and family from sledding to s’mores to snowshoeing to dinner.

Let's say snowshoeing requires just a LITTLE bit of talent -- great post! xx
