it snowed 7 feet in 7 days! annndd...i didn't get to ski even a little bit. i had been so excited to show nate my favorite runs, and where the best powder is, and how good the steak sandwiches at crystal hut are, but obviously, i am really happy and grateful to be pregnant. i was forbidden by my doctor to even think about skiing, so instead i imagined how good that powder was. it killed me to watch the boys + my sister walk out with all their gear in the morning, and it killed me even more to not hit the hot tub with them after a long day in ski boots. but i'd do anything for this little baby of ours.
instead, we had girl's day every day! my poor mom came down with mono a few weeks before christmas and spent most of whistler in bed, and my SIL wasn't feeling too hot either. my niece, aspen, was our main form of entertainment, plus playing in the snow, walking around with aspen in her sled, reading harry potter 7 again, and watching movies. it was so relaxing!
my cute, sick mom
aspen was so nice to the snowman. she even gave him hugs and kisses
gingerbread house contest...
steph was clearly the winner with her crushed-candy-cane-snow lined roof
christmas morning was a little different. we definitely missed chandler, who is serving a mission in toronto, but it was amazing talking to him on the phone.
are you kidding me?! she is the cutest. we were/are all obsessed with her. everyone should have christmas with a two year-old. she calls nate "jungle (uncle) nate"
the preggo/sickie girls rode the gondola up the mountain to meet the boys + steph for lunch. snowy, snowy day.
we played many games of greed. one of the punishments was to eat a slice of butter smothered in guacamole and chocolate sauce. sooo glad i didn't lose that one.
this was such a memorable christmas. i absolutely loved being with my family and being back in one of my favorite places of all time.
