such cold weather? And to think, we
can ski right out the back door and down to the chair lifts.

I’m so excited. But I don’t know if
anything you could give me would top this amazing ski
cabin.
* top
something: to be better than something
= surpass; hold a candle to; measure up
to
ex> It’s hard to top an
undefeated season during which a team wins the championship.

dog on his shoulder? You’re not going to be able to top that act.
It has 10 diamonds – one for each year

up, so I thought I would get you something that shows you how much you mean
to me.
* come
up: a date or even approaches
ex> We’re coming up on
intermission. Would you like to step out for some food?
You have no idea how much it means to me
to see your eyes light up like that!

time she talks to Terry.
