A GREAT GIFT!!!

In the words of my mom, "Besides Disney World, this was my favorite vacation!!" My parents came up for Christmas at the beginning of December and took us on a ski vacation to Whistler. We never thought we'd live so close to the slopes, so now that we do, we wanted our kids to know how to ski. It has also been a dream of my dad's to ski with his grandchildren!! So we went up and skied for 3 days. The kids loved it, and the adults loved it!! We all had a great time. My mom doesn't ski, so she cooked a great breakfast and lunch for us and then we would go out for dinner. It was so nice to have a place to come back to during the day and have a good meal. Before we left for Whistler we had our Christmas with them, and then when we got back we went to Bright Lights in Stanley Park. We had a blast with PaPa and MiMi!!

I'd never been in a white out, but we were on this trip!! It was crazy!! It was blizzard-like snowing and foggy. Still having fun though :)
