out with the old & in with the new

Hockey Mom minus the lipstick

George started playing hockey this winter. We thought the ability to skate would come in handy living up here, and what better way to learn than covered in padding from head to toe. His coach (in black) is a friend of ours and played for USU while we were there.

(George is #7 raising his hand)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
