This year had to be one of my very favorite Christmases. We rented a beautiful cabin up in Tahoe and had my whole family there, mom, step-dad, dad, step-mom, brother, sisters and my new brother in law. We drove up in a huge snow storm and the conditions were a bit scary, but once we arrived, everything was covered in 5 fresh feet of snow and looked pristine and white. It was a perfect backdrop for a perfect week.
We ate so many delicious meals prepared by pre-arranged meal teams like we did for my
sisters bachelorette, sang Christmas carols around the piano, went swimming in the indoor heated pool, played lots of games, watched movies in the ginormous home movie theater and played in the snow. I didn't get to hit the slopes this time around with the rest of the group, but I had such great time just catching up with my family, working on puzzles and getting lots of quality time in with my little boy.

Luke loved the snow and and we took him out on the decks and shoveled paths for him to run around and took him sledding down the street.
We hope you had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
