Happy 2011 everyone!
This holiday season was crazy busy for us, but some of the fun highlights included:
Baking tons of sugar cookies (and eating all of them before even having a chance to frost them).
Decorating a tree (and having Charlie only eat three of the ornaments this year, instead of several ornaments plus the lights).
Finally having a fireplace to hang stockings from!
We headed out to Utah this year and spent 4 days skiing. We were fortunate enough to arrive there just as it was getting hit by a winter storm that dropped 7 feet of snow in 2 days. In a word: heaven.
We spent Christmas Eve at our friend Charlie's cabin up at Alta. We had to hike through the aforementioned 7 feet of snow to get there, breaking trail on fresh bootpack the entire way. Here's the view from his front porch just after we arrived:
It was worth it just to see this sunset:
And the Christmas morning sunrise:
I hope that everyone had a very happy holiday season and that 2011 finds you all happy, healthy, and well!

Ha ha ha - Holly, you crack me up! The secret is rolling the dough pretty thin, but it is a fine line, because if it's too thin they burn.
I was going to ask the SAME thing! Do you make your own dough or use a pre-made sugar cookie dough? Mine always spread when baked and are unrecognizable when I take them out.
I always make my dough from scratch, so maybe that's it? I use this recipe from Alton Brown (I always use soy milk instead of regular cow's milk and it turns out just fine): http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/sugar-cookies-recipe/index.html.
