WHITNEY WINTERS: December with the Whistler Whitneys

Old fashioned festive fun around our Whistler home during the month of December tends to consist of board games, puzzles, card games, the cooking & eating of festive feasts, and - of course - getting outside to play in the snow.

Here are some (not all) members of the Whitney family who passed through Whistler during the Christmas period.

Our annual Christmas photo-on-the-deck is missing Toria, who is currently enjoying summer in NZ.

Our kitchen was designed for feast preparations. Here is a basket of Charlotte's fresh brioche:

Thanks to Mary, you can view some of the action by going to the clips she has posted on utube:

Unique Whitney crazyness includes stair climbing competitions, performed only by the strongest members of the family. Watch some stair climbing here:

And which members of this gang invented blow bauble? It is rather like table tennis but with a tree ornament....and a lot of hot air! Tournaments can be fierce, and blowing while laughing at the same time is a challenge some of us have not yet mastered.
