Lake Tahoe!

Right after Christmas we went to Lake Tahoe for the first time for a couple of days. Unfortunately, there wasn't much snow there, but it was a fun time nonetheless. On the way there we found some places with snow so we let the kids there for a bit. Once in Tahoe, since there wasn't a whole lot in town, we took a lift up to a ski spot where there was snow so the kids could enjoy snow.

We also walked around the town of Tahoe, which is so cute and fun.

Snow! Trevor fell asleep shortly after we got there.

The snow was bright!

Iced fountain in town.

A view of the gorgeous lake!

 

Conner climbed this by himself.

We took a drive all around the lake and found another gorgeous spot -- Kings Beach in North Tahoe. So we spent a little time there. It also had a park right on the beach which was fun for the kids.

On the peer at the Beach. Trev was pretty mesmerized by the water in-between the wood planks.

Lake Tahoe is so breaktaking...I'm glad it went as it was nice to get away for a few days and catch the amazing views. I definitely hope to return!

Christmas Day!

We had a very simple and fun Christmas. Started with singing Happy birthday to Jesus, then reading bible stories and then presents. :) Conner got so into Christmas this year, it was so much fun to see. He wanted to pass out all the presents and of course, help open them too.

Trevor opening presents from A. Chris - thank you!

Trev was SO EXCITED for a sketch pad.

Afterward presents, we had a lazy day taking walks, riding outside and of course a little Christmas dinner.

All in all, a very beautiful Christmas!

Hope yours was wonderful too!

Christmas Eve!

Daddy got off from work, yay! So we had a relaxing day opening stockings in the morning and went over to U. Darren, A. Claire and cousins house for Christmas dinner. A. Mishy was also there. It was a fun day.

The kids were so excited about the stockings and had so much fun taking all their little gifts out. Conner still talks about everything he got and how it happened and even little Trevor really got into it. It was so much fun to watch.

Here's a couple pix...

Christmas Dinner with Nichols

Sea World!

Pix are a bit of out order, but hopefully these will be fun to look at. The kids just LOVED Sea World! 

Visit to SD

Early in December we made a short visit to SD for business and got a little time to visit with family too. Conner and Trevor and I had a great time with Marco and Feli, Noelle and Dean and we also got to visit for a bit with Mike, Nina and co (tho I didn't get any pix there). We also had a little Cmas event with the kids as they each had little presents for each other.

Here are a few pix of the cousins having some fun together and our mini cmas event...

No visit is complete without some ice-cream time. :)

Conner learning how to skateboard...

Trevor loved Grammy's "Peter Rabbit"...
