Love, love love, that is how I would describe my week of celebration with my best friends for my 50th birthday.
The festivities started on Thursday, December 11, 2014 when Nancy and Rochelle came out from the east coast to spend two days in Frisco, Colorado. The next day, it was like a spring day when Nancy and I skied at Copper Mountain under blue skies and warm temperatures with lots of snow. On Saturday, nineteen ladies (Beth was a casualty to the stomach flu) went up to Tennessee Pass Nordic Center, Cookhouse, & Sleep Yurts for cross country skiing, snow shoeing and snow biking. After some wine and cheese in the yurts we had a lovely gourmet dinner followed by a huge slumber party complete with the singing of camp songs. Thank you so much everyone for being a part of my life and for making turning fifty a blast!
Wendy and the ladies!

Wendy's friend Nancy (since 1st grade!) ready to hit the slopes at Copper Mountain
On Saturday, December 13th 2014, we drove to Tennessee Huts with snow-biking as the first activity
After that, it was time for the ladies to do some cross-country skiing
We then cross country skied or snow shoed to the yurts - note the outhouse!
It was then time for a gourmet dinner ... these ladies are serious foodies!
I enjoyed my Elk and wine
