Ski trip

By
Our first family ski trip to Whistler was a success! 

The drive to and from Whistler was actually not bad at all because we broke it up with a meal stop in Vancouver, plus we introduced the girls to Harry Potter on Audible (YAY!). Once there, the condo we rented was in a great location and had an awesome hot tub that everyone enjoyed after a long day of skiing. The friends we went with made for great company. And, most importantly, Evie enjoyed the ski school and can't wait to go again. In fact, she didn't want to take off her skis at the end of the first day and tried to make little bunny hills outside of our condo so she could keep skiing. While she was in school, Nora stayed home with a baby sitter but complained about wanting to go skiing with the big kids. Here's hoping that she'll pick up skiing as fast and as painlessly as her big sis, and we can lots more of these trips!


My lunch on Day 1 - a "Peaked" chicken-and-mushroom pot pie.
It was topped with potatoes and peas and gravy. Very filling.
Smiles at the end of lessons! 


Skiiers!

Scott and I went cross country skiing on the 2nd day.

Olympic Plaza
This little girl liked knocking all the snow off the fence posts.

Snow buddies.

They make a big sledding hill in Olympic Plaza that's pretty fun!
Even Scott partook in the sledding action!

Merry go round on the playground
 
It was pretty impossible to get these 4 to take a decent photo altogether.

We celebrated Baby C's birthday 2 days late because the timing didn't work out right. 
But when we did, boy did the kids like the cake!

Happy 1st birthday, Cecily!

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.

Trick or Treat!

By
Halloween this year was the quietest one we've had in 13 years! This was the first one we had without the girls! Both of them went to friends houses and left Scott and I to man the door. It was very quiet at home because the doorbell rang only 4x the entire night, but at least both girls said they had a lot of fun despite it being rainy and dreary out. Thankfully, they have finally learned to not trust Seattle weather in October and chose warm(ish) costumes!
