Greetings from Whistler!

Hello everyone! Our flight arrived safe and sound in Vancouver last night, right on time. I was so excited - Julie and Julia was one of the movies being shown on the plane. It was good, but totally not what I expected. My sister and brother-in-law were waiting for us at the airport and the drive up to Whistler (where they live) was smooth sailing! Above is a photo that I took on their front porch. That is the incredible view we are blessed with. It's truly breathtaking.

This morning we opened presents and had a delicious breakfast feast. After breakfast, we went for a little stroll through Whistler Village and there are signs on all the houses where the Canadian Olympic athletes are living ... so neat to see! Now the turkey dinner is in the oven ... I can smell it from here and it smells absolutely delicious! Tomorrow we'll be going skiing and will probably take the Peak to Peak gondola ride between the two mountains to see the incredible view. Also on the agenda for my week here in Whistler - a trip down to Squamish (the closest city to Whistler) to check out their local scrapbook store, an afternoon of reading at Starbucks, snow-tubing, games night, fondue dinner, yoga class with my sister (maybe!) and LOTS of time with family!

I'll be here in Whistler until January 3rd. Then, it's down to Vancouver to move into my apartment. I have big plans for my "vacation" week here so I'm not sure how much time I'll have to post on my blog but I'll try my best to keep you all updated!

Talk soon!

PS - I hope you all had an incredible Christmas.
