Happy Holidays!

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday season from the top of the world! We are on winter break (it's three weeks long, we return to school on January 7th).

We decided to stay here over break since it's tough flying in the winter in Alaska with two dogs. We have been relaxing and enjoying the time off. The weather turned really cold though--negative 30 for a few days! That seems to be the major cutoff when you feel the intense cold. Today it is warmer, at only four below right now.
