We started up season 2 recently we named the team Red Devils. I’m playing Ice Hockey 3-4 times a week now, still taking skill class which helps me get better on the ice. My coach Carl has setup a blog, here is a link to his blog. The team is going up to Nederland to play with the local team today, unfortunately I have already committed to a school gathering and will miss this game. The fun part about todays game is that it’s at a outdoor rink, I have not played outdoors yet. I will have my father take some pictures of me on the ice to post for you soon…

Afi and Thoranna were in Breckenridge skiing last week, we met them at Copper mountain for a fun filled day of skiing and snowboarding. We had excellent conditions as it had been snowing for a few days and powder in the hills. It was the first day that the big half pipe was open. I did my first black diamond run. A nice day, although a bit cold at the end of the day.

At school we are currently reading and writing a biography of some famous person. We have a open choice as long as it’s somebody important / famous / influential. I choose to write about Abraham Lincoln. The fun part is that now the reading and the writing skills are coming together in one fun project. I don’t use computers much, but in case you are interested you can see a wiki profile on Lincoln if you click here.

This is the best time of the year, not only do we have Christmas but then I have my Birthday on the 26th. Which means that I get a lot of presents.

It’s that time of the year again, close to Christmas. Tonight the Icelandic Santas start coming to town, lucky me that they are able to stop by in the USA.  And it’s snowing, it’s looking to be a big sledding / snowboarding month for me and hopefully a white Christmas.
