We spent Christmas this year at my parent place. The girls and I spent a couple of weeks there this summer, and had just as much fun this time!
There was just enough snow for the ski hill to open so we headed out really early Monday morning, Sparkle our scout elf came along for the ride. The girls are amazing travelers, just keep them entertained with snacks, books and a little screen time and they can go for hours with out getting out of the truck.
It was wonderful to spend time with my mom and dad, and of course we got to go skiing with my dad one day when he wasn't busy working at the hill. Christmas was fantastic and the girls got really spoiled by everyone. A very relaxing holiday as there is no cell signal at the house, so texts or calls!

| Our little ski bunnies! |
 |
| My mom made aprons for the girls, and they wore them all the time and did a little "helping" in the kitchen |
 |
I love that the fabric my mom used for Elyse's apron is Hanna Montana!
Elyse just liked it for the pink colour and pattern |
 |
| We got a little bit more snow while at mom and dad's. Needed more for better skiing, but every little bit helps |

 |
| This was the Elyse's favourite way to get down to the ski hill, Grandpa took her and her ski gear down and we met her there. |
 |
| Lots of crafts and activities at Grandma's |
 |
| Brynn and I riding the tow |
 |
| She loves skiing! |
 |
| Elyse even got a lesson from mom and dad's neighbor Dianne; she is almost doing parallel turns |
 |
| Brynn and Scott taking a GT sledding break |
 |
| Brynn's ride up the hill, GT'ing is easy when you don't have to walk back up! |
 |
| The crew headed back up the hill for another run on the GT's |

| The view from mom and dad's back deck |
 |
| The frost on the trees was amazing, when back lit from the sun; it probably helps that it was close to -30 C |
 |
| Grandma and the girls making cookies |
 |
We were all invited down to the lodge for an after hours community potluck.
My dad loved sitting around the fire with the girls |
 |
| Grandpa and the girls enjoying the fire after dinner |
 |
| Elyse and Brynn got to help decorate the tree when we arrived. Elyse was very proud of the tree and all the presents she put under it. |
 |
| The tree all ready for Christmas! |
