Let me just start by saying we had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. If I ever get around to it I will try to post a few pictures from the Holiday. However, this post I am going to focus on our trip to Big White Ski Resort in B.C. Canada. Billy had been trying to plan a winter vacation for about 5 months now but I had been hesitant, not wanting to spend the money, or do any of the planning that goes into taking a family of 6 on a vacation. Well, Billy had a week off starting on the 14th (Happy Birthday Babe!) so we decided on Tuesday to just go for it. Believe it or not, waiting 'til the last minute can actually work in your favor. We heard about a website from a friend and they had quite a few "last minute deals" so we gat a beautiful (and I mean BEAUTIFUL) condo for about half of what Billy was looking at 4 months ago. We left Thursday morning for the 7 hr drive. The drive was absolutely beautiful. These pictures were taken as we were driving down the freeway. (The cute girl in the middle of our backseat is our neighbor and friend Abi. She came with us to help with the kids. We love having her around and are very grateful to her family for letting us take her, as I know that they missed her a lot while she was with us.)
Once we arrived and explored our beautiful, although slightly complicated, condo, it was off to bed so we could hit the slopes early. We were a little disappointed that there was no fresh powder but after about 11:00 it was so warm that the snow got really soft and nice to ride. We had beautiful cloudless skies and "spring-like" conditions the entire time we were there. Here are a few more pics from the week.

This is what you would call the "back yard" of the condo it was definitely a Ski-in Ski-out. Those 2 tiny dots are Niko and Noah.
This is the view from the hot tub on the front deck of the Condo.

This was supposed to be mine and Billy's room but I guess these 2 had other ideas.
These are only pictures from my camera, once I get Billy's camera loaded I might add a few more pics and videos.
The resort also had a cool program where they have photographers at various places throughout the mountain and they take pictures of you and at the end of your vacation you can purchase a disc with all the pictures. This slide show has just a small sampling of the pictures we got.
