whitefish fun!

sorry dad - i have to do whitefish before i do christmas. the blog has to go in order cuz i'm just that anal! anyway.....we went to whitefish for a little christmas getaway 3 years ago, and it was sooo much fun! so much fun in fact that we had to do it again :)

 

here is us last year and this year - it's the first time i've looked a picture and realized that i'm getting older and that it's showing. i'm ok with it, but it's just so crazy to think what a difference 3 years makes. it was just the 7 of us 3 years ago, and there were 10 of us this year. we slept in til all hours of the morning last time, and the boys had everyone up at the crack of dawn this year. we were attachment free 3 years ago, and thank goodness for kait's bum knee this year cuz she babysat so that we could hit the hills. i think we're all older, wiser, and happier now :)

dust and i got in 2 good days of skiing/snowboarding, and i love hitting the slopes with my hubby. i tried snowboarding this year but had the hardest time standing up as silly as that sounds! thank goodness for cars and his support, or i would have had to walk down the entire bunny hill! here are the 3 snowboarders ready for another run!

 

the holidays represent all the pop (soda for my american friends!) you can drink for my dust. dr. pepper for breakfast....nothing better if you ask him!

one of the requirements to marrying me and into my family was always that he had to get along with my bro. as you can see here, they get along just jim dandy! haha they are such nerds together and always provide the family with some serious entertainment. major geek potential here, and i love it!

whitefish fun isn't whitefish fun unless a dinner at famous dave's is included! dad dared dust to try some salt - yummy! kris and kait got ribs, ribs, and more ribs just like the rest of us, and beckam was just happy that they had fries on the menu! good times :)

 

 

 

maddox went for his 1st swim at meadow lake, and he loved it just like i knew he would. we did the dunk, and he did great, and unlike here in portland, kids were allowed in the hot tub (not cool portland), so we had fun and stayed warm.

 

isn't my mom so stinkin cute! whenever anyone tells me i look like her, i get so excited! i only hope that i look as good as her when i'm a grandma. we had tons of fun skiing together and even made the 2 hour long adventure down the back of the mountain fun too ;) love you mama!

 

we had lots of fun with the princes playing games too. here's daddio telling us how it is during catch phrase. i think the girls kicked butt as usual!

 

 

 

cute lipstick kait! haha gotta love quelf!

 

our little family was only there for 3 days, but it was so super fun. we had fun eating bad food and playing games til late and skiing and just doing what families do over the holidays. it was sooo beautiful, and we can't wait to do it again in another 3 years!
