The boys were entertained with DVD's
and Leapsters so the drive went relatively quickly.
We arrived at our rental house by early afternoon and the kids had a blast running throughout. My parents, brother and our neighbors joined us this year in Whistler. It is becoming a new Thanksgiving tradition of ours to go there for the long weekend. Here's Bryson and Evan playing with toys in the living room.
Todd and Jon apparently wanted to match, lol!
Erin and I were downstairs chatting and soon realized that all of the men had escaped somewhere. . . we found them upstairs on the deck enjoying beers in the hot tub!
The next day (Thanksgiving) we drove into the village to look around and make sure Jaden was properly signed up for his ski lessons for Friday. They had record-breaking snowfall this November so there was snow all the way down to the village (it wasn't like that last year). The kids had fun playing on the icy snow.
Jaden loved climbing the tall snow mounds in the village as well.
My handsome boy:)

Bryson wondering how Jaden was going to get down! Bryson is definitely more cautious than Jaden is.
After we got back to the house and put Bryson down for a nap, I got Jaden all bundled up so that he could play in the backyard with Laurel. Our back deck had a small yard, but beyond that and below a small bank there was a huge area that is a golf course in the summer which also surrounds a beautiful lake. The view was absolutely breathtaking!

They built a small snowfort and then had a rowdy snowball fight with Todd and Jon.

Todd and I took Jaden down to the golf course to explore.

We saw a lot of beaver damage to the trees by the lake, but never found a beaver dam.

Bryson and I on Thanksgiving (with his Husky that he loves so much).
Dinner time! We enjoyed a delicious array of Thanksgiving food: a turkey, stuffing and gravy made by the Piegari's, my dad made mashed potatoes, my mom made a fruit salad, I contributed green bean casserole, cranberry and apple pies, and my brother made a lemon broccoli dish. Yum!
The whole gang (except for me).
After dinner the kids 
My dad was in a post-turkey coma.
Until Bryson came and woke him up. They had fun snuggling together.
Part 2 coming next.
