Feliz navidad from the slopes of Tahoe!For the holidays our family decided to go to snow and so to Lake Tahoe we go!
Well, no one told us that Jack Frost had apparently gone on vacation - there was no snow to be found in Lake Tahoe (unheard of - especially for late December). At least the spring-like conditions made the usually treacherous drive very safe and enjoyable but grew our skepticism about our skiing holiday. Plan B - a hiking Christmas holiday?
Luckily, Northstar ski resort had heard our cries for a white Christmas and made enough man-made snow to fulfill our holiday plans. It was great, normally Christmas gets very busy at Northstar but I guess the "no-snow" was a deterrent for many as we felt like we had the hill to ourselves.
Proof that my husband only has eyes (in this case - goggles) for me!
(This also highlights the shenanigans I have to pull to get myself in our "family pictures" - sad but true. Being the photographer of the family seems to showcase Chris as "father of the year" and then myself as the "absentee mother". Every once in a while I have to remind everyone of the woman behind the camera and the blog - "here I am!".)

Mental preparation for skiing a difficult run
On Christmas Day, J.J. was in ski school, so I had a date with my sweetie-pie husband. It was great day, we spent a lot of quality time exploring the slopes together and even more quality time experiencing drinks at Zephyr Lodge ; )
I had a wonderful ski-date with my husby and Jayden had a fantastic time with his ski group. How do we know that J.J. had a fun time? Besides Jayden debriefing us at pickup - talking a mile a minute about his "totally awesome day", Chris and I took some time to spy on him and snap some pics and vids.

Hoping your Christmas was as fun as ours!
