Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all! We celebrated the end of the 00's in the snow of Whistler. Good food, great friends and plenty of skiing - it couldn't have been any better. We stopped by the Callahan Valley on our way up to Whistler for a cross country ski. Part of the area is closed for Olympic construction, but there are plenty of trails open and you can ski for hours without retracing a single 'step'.






We joined Kate, Curt and William, Keith, Claire and Lily, and Neil, Sam and Annabelle for new years eve. After the kids were all tucked into bed, we feasted on a three course meal and enjoyed lots of laughs and good conversation. There was a small struggle to stay awake until midnight (remember the days when staying up until the wee hours of the morning was easy and fun?), but we made it!



After fueling up on breakfast, the boys and Claire headed up for a day on Whistler Mtn, while Kate, Sam and I stayed behind with the kids. It snowed hard all day, and the kids had fun getting pulled around on the toboggan. The boys came home exhausted but grinning from ear to ear at the end of the day - a ski day to remember, it seems.
