Perfect Snowflakes

My brother came up to Whistler to visit last week and we went snowboarding for the first time (well, technically it's my second time). It was AWESOME!! I loved it!! I feel that I have more control over the board than skis. I really want to try again. Will do that next weekend since this weekend I'll be going to Vancouver to visit my family.

It's been snowing lots for the past few days and I really wanted to go up the mountains this weekend though. Oh well, I can do that next week.

I've been Christmas shopping for the past few days here but there really isn'y many shops here...went into Eddie Bauer and wanted to buy something for my beau....ended up spending more than 180 bucks there......it's a bit crazy....I've decided to go back to Van yesterday so I've returned the brand new gifts that I've just bought from Eddie Bauer and get something that's similar in Vancouver....I'm sure that it'll be MUCH cheaper with more selections.

We've got a Christmas tree in our house this year...it's actually my first tree ever... He got it in Squamish's Home Depot since it's waaaaaaaaay cheaper there....they do sell trees in Whistler too at IGA and Nester from the Boy's Scouts....but they are pretty expensive...however, it is for a good cause...so maybe it's worth it because you don't need to spend your gas money for going all the way to Squamish. We usually go there once a month anyway to get grocery, so it's alright for us.

I love my tree....it's beautiful and it adds colour to our room. Not that we don't have lots of plants in our living room already. It also adds the pine scent to our house as well..just makes you feel like it's Christmas.
