Christmas Part 3 (Post Christmas)

On Christmas afternoon, we headed to Lake Tahoe to play in the snow and see Grandma, Grandpa, Frank, Paige, Luca, Bella and Tori. WOW. Now that the kids are older, it was SUCH a different trip! They loved trying their hand at snowboarding and skiing and absolutely LOVED everything snow. BIG thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for finding such an amazing house for us all to spend time in. I really can't wait to get them back in the SNOW.

We started off day 1 at Soda Springs near Truckee.  It's a cute place where kids can try anything they want -- snowboarding, skiing, tubing, etc.  All for one VERY cheap price.  It was warm and a GREAT introduction to everything.





































 
Jacob really was fearless!

  

We went tubing in Tahoe on one of our days off of skiing.  Let's take a look at the 4 year old: 


And now let's take a look at the 6 year old:

On Day 2, they took a half day skiing less at Sierra at Tahoe. And that REALLY broke them in.

By Day 3, we were skiing North Star in Tahoe (while I want to tell you the story of Maddie falling off of the lift, I don't have the energy for it.  But don't worry, it will forever be etched into my brain as one of the scariest moments ever.)

And we were ALL tuckered out.

Mark and I decided to ski Heavenly alone and holy moly.  It is BEAUTIFUL.  There are photographers all over the mountain.  SO....Insert cheesy Heavenly pics here:
