Eve's White Christmas

[Bengalz]

Your picture on the road to Whistler literally took my breath away, how absolutely beautiful!

The Sea to Sky Highway, currently being upgraded for 2010 Olympics is very scenic and I'm sure you would enjoy it immensely. The mountains are the backdrop for the Pacific Ocean just about all the way up to Whistler. It's a bendy road and somewhat challenging but absolutely incredible on a beautiful day.

How good that Tigris could read the thread after seeing the pictures- he WOULD have been jealous about handsome Zeus. But of course his little Eve is a very special princess
But Zeus on his mommy's shoulder can still melt every human heart.

How much fun that must have been. Even close to the Alps you see not always that much snow. We went to see Vio and Greg in Garmisch and had at least a hike around Eibsee (1000 m high) with a little snow. But Garmisch, Munich and our flat areas (500 m) are completely green

Barbara,

We have enough snow in Vancouver to ski! In fact, more than Whistler - it has been a peculiar year Having said that, we now have rain and it will soon be gone.

Little Eve is such a brave girl - she ventured out onto the deck and got stuck in the wet snow - Daddy had to go and rescue her Tigris would have been very proud of her at Whistler - she kept the boys in tow - they are quite in awe of her, despite her diminutive size

Zeus is absolutely gorgeous but a real handful. His Mom, Marianne, just deals with it His charm does allow him to get away with just about everything

Please give your boys a big Christmas hug for me and tell Tigris that Eve would love to play in the snow with him

We had enough snow in Ontario, so thought I would send some over your way.

Just in December alone, we've had 40 cm!! Right now, it's raining like crazy and I just heard thunder. It's supposed to rain all day today and tomorrow. Then freeze back up at the beginning of the week. Great, Toronto will look like a swimming pool with all the melted snow and then we'll look like a skating rink within 48 hours.

Not enjoying these changes. Either snow or rain. Not both!

Now that my rant is over, hope you all had a wonderful holiday! Enjoy the New Year!

Kass,

I appreciate your frustration. As beautiful as the snow is, in Vancouver, it can be such a hazard. Drivers here are not accustomed to it and the hilly terrain makes driving a nightmare. It's great if you can stay put and play in it

Best wishes for the New Year to you and Rob and your gorgeous little kitty kids

So Christmassy! All that snow looks fabulous. I heard on the radio that Canada was experiencing it's first coast-to-coast white Christmas since 1971. It certainly looks as though you had plenty.

Glad to hear that Eve had everything under control during your trip. Poor girl, getting stuck in the snow!

And who could not forgive Zeus anything? Just look at that picture!
