merry merry

I’ve been fighting off my first high altitude cold of the season, so we’ve been lying low these past couple of days. Out here the days/dates blur, but when we got to work last night there was no mistaking that it was Christmas Eve. People were gathered around the piano singing carols, and there was a table set up in the lobby of the lodge where guests of all ages were decorating ornaments. The “ornaments” are actually used light bulbs from the historic Old Faithful Inn.

This morning Steve braved breakfast (it was –11 out) and I slept in (surprise, surprise.) Walking to work today I was distracted first by the steam coming off of Old Faithful in the distance

And then by the sunset

Merry Christmas!
