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.

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!!

By
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.

Ski weekend in Leavenworth

By
We had made plans many moons ago to take the MLK weekend for a short getaway to the Leavenworth area. We've been a few times in years past and it's always a fun place to visit especially in the wintertime. But this year, with COVID and all, we weren't sure whether we wanted to go but I'm super happy that we went. We had a blast and was able to keep safe by keeping to ourselves! First up, we left bright and early so that we can pack in a snowshoe/winter hike on the drive over. The last time we went , we had stopped for some snowshoeing on the way back and it was epic! Unfortunately, this time the snow was old and not nearly as soft and fluffy so while it was a nice diversion with some pretty views, it wasn't as great as we had hoped. The fun part though, was that we brought our camping stove with us so we did some tailgating in the parking lot and had a fancy ramen meal for lunch. It was super nice to warm the belly with the yummy noodles and broth! That evening, we ...

Alaska Cruise

By
We got back from our week long cruise to Alaska and ready to go again! We all had a great time but really the best part of our trip was all the family time we spent with my parents, Way and her family and Kin and his family. I think the last time we all vacationed together was back in 2015 when we all went to Kauai . It was so long ago that not all the littles had even been born yet! So yes, a big family vacay was long overdue. The kiddos loooooved spending time with their cousins, whether it was playing bingo or ping pong, or biking and hiking or just hanging out at meal time or playing mahjong. It helped that since we were all on vacation mode, we didn't push (too hard) on eating healthy or limiting screentime. It also really helped that the service on the ship was so accommodating to the kids and (pretty good) pizza, ice cream and drinks were available at all hours.  I was happy with the ship we picked too. The Quantum of the Seas is nearly 20 years old (first sailed in 2014) bu...
