Quick Update...just to get caught up.

Okay, here is a brief snippet of the past few months..

Thanksgiving:
We went up to Whistler Canada with my parents for the Thankful Holiday. David had never been before, so it was extra exciting for him. We stayed in a Condo really close to Whistler Village, and skiied for 3 days straight. Oh, fabulous! Unfortunately, there wasn't a lot of the resort open yet because of lack of snow, so David only got to experience a small taste. But it was enough to wet his appetite to want to go again. Blackcomb Mountain is often more our favorite to ski on, but the snow conditions were terrible on that side of the resort, so we stayed on Whistler mostly.

We skiied during the day and at night we would visit the village, or enjoy the TV and couches in the Condo. Yes, we even had a Thanksgiving dinner, while in Canada, on Thanksgiving night. Thank you packaged Thanksgiving Dinners from Safeway.

Here are just a few photos from the trip. :)

 Skiing, well David is on his board.

Christmas and New Years:

Since we spent the entire Thanksgiving break with my parents, it was only fair that we spend Christmas with the Bass clan. David and I were able to open our presents to each other in the early-ish morning of Christmas and then head over to his parents house for the family gift exchanging. Fun and loud with 4 excited kids and a new baby around. Honestly, by the time that was over, I was so tired that I took a nap... On Christmas!!

That evening we went to the Bass Family Christmas party with all the extended family and enjoyed some laughs and memories of the past year.

For New Years we went up to my parents house for the weekend. On New Years Eve we went to Crystal Mountain--the ski resort where all of us McKee kids learned to ski--and watched them light off fireworks on the mountain side. That was incredible! To have the whole mountain light up, under the fireworks, all covered in snow, was just gorgeous. It was a new adventure for all of us and we are so glad that we went. Too bad we didn't get any pictures while there. New Years day we got to have lunch with some long lost (well more like we all live far away) friends--Brian and Tara and Jordan and Christina. That was fun to be able to visit and enjoy some laughs together.


Okay... I think that is a brief catch-up, with more legit posts coming. :)
