Happy New Year!!!

New Years week was spent up in Tahoe with Oma and all the kids and grand kids!! We had a great time! The first day was spent with everyone gathering to the cabin Oma rented and getting settled in.

Day 2 & 3 - Alpine Meadows and NorthStar

First day of skiing/boarding is always the best. Everyone is fresh and ready for the cold. Jon got to try out his skis and found out he LOVED them! But he surely was the most sore afterwards. Did he mind? Of course not, he always loves a workout...which is why he bought the skis.
The girls (Jessica, Me & Renee)!The boys (Aaron, Sammy & Jon)!The view from the top of Alpine Meadows.Jon and I!Lunch Time!!! A much needed break for Jessica and I to feed the babies. I gave up because I didn't want to freeze my chest, but Jessica fed Max and ended her day. Lunch was so good with large sandwiches and all the fixings brought up by Oma, Dan, Brittany, Chantilly, Rylee, Brody and Max.

Second day of skiing/boarding was the best for Johnny because it was his first day. He asked if it was ok to leave us and go on his own. We never saw him again until Northstar closed.
Renee & Sammy at the top......on the lift...and on the slopes.Jon and I at the top......and on the lift.Here is Rylee trying to warm up in a little shop in Northstar village watching Cinderella, while awaiting Jon and I to finish our last lift of the day. Dan, Jessica, Max, Brittany, Aaron, Chantilly and Rylee all came to the village that day to see what it was all about!"You came back to me!"

Day 4 - Snow Day

We decided to venture into Tahoe City, play in the snow and on a playground; and walk the shops. By now, the Bradley's and Montes' had left so we were down a few family members, but that didn't stop us from having fun! Here is Jon and Rylee hiking out to the Lake.! Throwing Rylee around is always fun! Look at that view in the background. It was beautiful to be out that day.Here is the WONDERFUL Oma and I posing for a pitcure!Brody was a great sport and didn't mind the backpack a bit!! Hey as long as they are being held, they don't care!Dan and Jon brought a disc and they rigged a rope on it and pulled Rylee around on the snow."AAHHH!"Due to the high altitude they both pooped out fast,and of course, Rylee was begging for MORE!Here is picture of the new family of three, The Poulton's - Aaron, Chantilly and Brittany. Isn't she so cute!I know, you'd never guess Jon would be the one screwing around, but he was!
Day 5 - Pilot light problems?...who cares, go home!

Thanks Oma for a great time in Tahoe!

Wow!Looks like a great family vacation. Wish I was as motivated as you. I hate just getting the snow clothes on let alone snowboard and play!
