Christmas and Chewie

For Christmas Jeremy and I usually stay home, but not for a lack of invites. Many of our friends are not from Alaska and given that we are all far from family we often spend holidays together. Jeremy and I like to spend Christmas day at home, though. We start Christmas day with apple cider donuts with a special mix imported from Vermont. This year Jeremy's mom supplied us with the prized mix.

Here is one of the delicious apple cider donuts. (How about that hairdo?)

The day after Christmas we went skijoring with a couple of the sled dogs. Jeremy skijored with Chewie, our newest sled dog. He's a lead dog. In case you've lost track, that's 9 dogs. Someone needs to let Santa know we are full up on dogs.

This is Creamer's Field where we went skijoring. It is an old dairy farm that has since been designated a migratory bird refuge. This picture was take around 2 p.m. Another beautiful day in Alaska.
