Tahoe

After church on Sunday while still in the parking lot, Daddy turned to mommy and said, "Let's go to Tahoe. Now. Like today. Let's just pack a bag and go. I have tomorrow off, and it will be a while before we get a chance to do anything like this again." We waited for it - mom's practical side forcing the "No." But it didn't come. She thought for a minute and then said, "you do the dishes, I'll pack a bag." And we were off. Off to snow and sledding.


Biggest gingerbread village ever!

Are these presents for me?  how did they know I was coming?
Too cute!


1...2...3...GO!
Ok, that was mildly entertaining.  Now for the big hill.


Much better.

WHA-HA-HUT?! This is like winter wonderland! No way you were calculating pennies THIS time! Seriously? Glad you took the plunge! We've almost been doing that lately, but alas, here we are...still in PA.

Awesome! Question is...did you see my sister? You need to be in touch with her if you're in Tahoe...you know she lives in Truckee!
