We've had a festive weekend starting out with the annual office party for Ruscitto Latham Blanton. Appetizers, wine, and a white elephant exchange made for some funny office memories involving the latest holiday trend, the "snuggie". An adult blanket with arms, this item is sure to frighten any Christmas gift recipient.
Saturday was a great day for skate skiing and we headed up north with Jenna, Willie, and our dogs to break in our winter sticks. Lot's of laughs followed by a delicious meal at Galena Lodge, we all went home ready for a nap.
Nik and Erin arrived to Hailey from Portland the same day and geared up for action on the town. In Ketchum we made sure to stop by all the local favorites, the Pio, Lefty's, Grumpy's, and the newly opened Whiskey Jacques. Oddly familiar the new Whiskey Jacques feels just like old times with some obvious and needed improvements. We ended the night by boogieing down to the Damphools band.
Sunday we struggled out of bed and took the Reno kids up to Galena Cross for some back country skiing. I have to say for their first time ever skinning on skis they did very well. It's not easy breaking in your lungs going up the mountain, and then your legs coming down but they managed to pull through nicely. We finished it off with another delicious meal at Galena Lodge. Seriously how can you go wrong there :)
Only when we returned to town did Zach realize that his money clip was missing. He searched through every pocket, nook, and cranny that he could think of before he was ready to surrender and start canceling cards. Not gonna happen, I thought. I convinced him we needed to go back to where he saw it last which unfortunately meant returning to the mountain that we had skied on earlier that day. In the dark we looked in and out of snow banks and all over the snow covered road for a needle in the haystack. We had to return to the summit of the mountain and then back down to where we had pulled off the road when we finished our run. Zach retraced his footsteps and low & behold he found it! Face down in the snow. The only visible part was the white back of his Costco card. Needless to say we were happy to have made a worthwhile trip.

So glad Zach found his wallet. We were so worried about you guys. Luckily the Resko's picked us up and took us to the brewery to take our worries away.
I can't believe you guys found it! At least the return trip was worthwhile.
Well, you are certainly lucky to have found the money clip. Glad good things are coming your way. xoxo
