Rather than buy gifts this year, Susan and I decided to treat our kids and grandkids to three nights and four days up the mountain. We chose a large home up at Big White to rent for the 12 of us.What a gorgeous setting. The snow was deep and lush – the trees, as Madeline said were like brides dressed in white lace for their weddings.
The grandkids all took ski lessons and had a ball skiing, snowboarding and tubing. But best of all was sitting around the table as a family. Kelly took breakfast, Kristy, lunch, and Susan and I prepared dinner each evening. It was a restful, exhausting, refreshing and fun week together.
On Sunday afternoon we got in our cars and headed home – back to reality. Monday morning work waits!

What a great idea! Sounds like you all had a wonderful time, making memories together as a family.
Things are well in Vernon. Hope to visit maybe some time in the spring/summer.
Take care,
The Gilbank Family
