Whistler Ski Vacation

As if Nashville, Oxford, Orlando, Disney World and Savannah weren't enough. We decided to take a ski vacation the very next weekend (in our defense, it WAS a 4 day weekend for Will) in Whistler. It was AMAZING! We stayed at a hotel called The Fairmont and had an absolute blast. I was fascinated by the hotels international contingent! There were folks from Australia, South Africa, Belgium, Czech Republic, London, Vancouver, Brazil... seriously, we were the minority! I had an amazing time just chatting with these folks at Apres ski and in the hot tub!

Skiing wise, I ended on a high note! I skiied all the way down the Mountain (on Greens, intersecting Blues) and only fell once! I panicked a few times, but Will talked me out of it and I made it down. Seriously, I love skiing with that man! He is so patient with me and I feel so accomplished once I'm down the Mountain. Top that off with some Apres ski cocktails and hors d'oerves and it doesn't get much better than that for me. There aren't a whole TON of pics for this because we were so active most of the time, but here are a few!

We're ready

Whaaaat? How did this HAPPEN?!

Quint, Luge-in it up!

So. Much. SNOW!

Some people build snowmen to admire, some build them to destroy. Which one do you think Quint is?

Yay Lily! 

My Little Sledding Love

Wheeee!

Our ballin hotel

All in a (Whistler) Days Work!

Lily got a new hat!

Obviously we had to take this pic...

Getting our ski on! It was seriously like a Winter Wonderland up there!

"Sniffle Station" HAHAHAHA... I have a weird sense of humor.

Halfway down!

Apres Ski!

Adventurin'

Quint found the NICEST boys from Vancouver who played with him for like 3 hours! It was amazing. They sledded, had a snowball fight, build a snowman. It was amazing.

Woahhhhh

After that we went to the spa to get our relax on! I got a HUGE kick out of the mini Q man robe!

So many Snowmen, so little time...

Epic Family Photos on the Drive Back!

I made Will stop and go back down the road on our way back home so we could take these photos.
He was SOOOOO Happy about that. Hehe. 

Me and My Little Loves

I LOVE Quint's smile in this pic

Epic Whistler Family vacation complete.

Christmas

As usual, Christmas was hectic, but it was a blast! Started the trip off by taking a MAC flight with the kiddos to Ft. Campbell. We stayed with some friends for a couple days then rented a car and checked out Nashville for a day before G-Daddy picked us up on his way back to Oxford from New York! Phew! I'm already tired and that was just the beginning!

We spent a fabulous Christmas Holiday in Oxford and from there we flew to Disney World to meet up with Michelle, Andy and of course, Roger, for a few days. After that we went to Savannah for Greg and Erica Holownia's wedding on River Street. Incredible is an understatements for how amazing and fun this wedding was!

That was the brief Holiday synopsis, but words are boring! Here are some photos :).

Nutcracker! 

Working out with my "weight set" I got 6 months ago that gets progressively heavier with time at Ft. Campbell. Me up to my usual shenanigans. 

At the Ice Sculpture show inside the Grand Ol Opry. This pic pretty much sums it up for Q... he was NOT a fan.
Sooooo cold.

Outside the Gingerbread House at in Opryland

Santa!

Far Far Away

Oxford, finally!

Trying to take some fitness photos outside! (shenanigans)

Lily's first time eating! Sweet potato and avocado mixed. Blech! 

But she liked it! She wanted to feed HERSELF. She did such a great  job too...
who knew food was supposed to go in your eyes, hair, forehead, nose, ears...

A rare moment of tranquility with Cade, the Wild Man

Cousins and their stockings on Christmas Eve!

After *most* (ahem, Wilson) of the kids went down, this is what went down in Living Room...
Still had to put together a Doll House, Electric Train set, toy car, chair and stuff stockings!

Christmas Morning!!!!

The best we could do... pretty good really! Even Wilson is awake!

My Littlest Love

This lasted for about 10 seconds...

Having fun taking pictures of Lily in her new Lace outfit from Marmie

So pretty

There he is! Christmas SELFIE! This really was Christmas Day in Oxford...

I am kind of in love with this little Lady...

MACKENZIE PLAID!!!

I look silly, but I liked this one of Marmie and Lily

These are getting kind of tough!

Roger dancing with Lily at Epcot. People seriously stopped to film him doing this with their phones and iPads! Cray!

We forgot how to use a Stroller at Disney. That, or we're really resourceful.

I mean seriously, how many COLORS can this castle be?!?!?!!?

We Wish You a Merry Christmas!

New Years Eve day this place was INSANE. Park had reached capacity by about 10am. So we just parked it
at the Castle and watched all the shows! 

Let it Goooooo

Elsa lighting up the castle!

Savannah Bound!

Lily's first time on the beach at The Coronado the day we left for Savannah
Had to get some energy outta these rascals before the drive!

We all scream for ICE CREAMMMMMM

Clearly, we had a good time at the wedding...

What are we doing?

The Holownias!!!!

Really... what are we doing?

Will's leg or guitar? Hmmm.... tricky tricky

So, now that Will has his American Express Platinum Card, we get to airports early to chill, and *ahem* indulge
a bit before getting on the plane.

hehehe

Remember that time Roger picked us up from the Airport in a stretch Limo after our 14 hour day, filled with all kinds of delays and cancellations?!????? #famous #amazing
