What is it, you ask?
Snowboarding
Who first thought of strapping one's feet onto a board, and decided that it would be a good idear to travel at a face-chilling speed down a slope, I wonder ...
The day after I go snowboarding I always try to remember exactly why I chose, of my own free will, to participate in this painful {not to mention c.o.l.d} winter activity - then when I find myself, yet again, at the top of the slope ... I remember. =)
Quite honestly, I am not a proficient at it; however, I do enjoy it muchly.
Because I did not think to take that many pictures, Olivia was kind enough to let me share some of hers. =)
We went with a group of friends - it's the grandest!

I promised myself that the next snowboarding trip I take, I will wear a face-mask - no more Arabic scarf-wrapping ;}
The facility was quite nice =)

At the end of the day, I stopped not because my muscles were aching, but on behalf of my frozen hands and face. =P

Thanks awfully, R, for your kind patient instruction. =)
A good sister-bonding activity - knocking each other out as you endeavor to get off the ski-lift gracefully. ;)
I have been enjoying some hand-crafting recently. =)
It really is quite delightful ...
January is at last beginning to behave itself - within the past two days we have been blessedly snowed-upon {after tolerating 50-some degree weather}! ;) Actually, it was amusingly fun to take a bike-ride in the middle of January ... I can't say as I've ever done that before. =)
I hope that you are having a fantabulous first-born month of the year!
Pip-pip,
Phia
