Christmas & Tahoe

We had a great Christmas. It was a bit different this year since my parents were out of town. This was my first Christmas without them if you can believe that! The kids had a good day and are officially spoiled (as if they weren't before!).

Christmas afternoon we headed to Stockton for a yummy dinner.

Sunday after Christmas

Monday we headed to beautiful Tahoe. It was very white there!

Chris took the kids skiing two days.

Emily has really progressed in snowboarding. This is her third year doing it and she says that next year she is going to give me a run for my money!

Abby in the fresh powder!

One afternoon is snowed and didn't stop until the next morning. This is what we found when we woke up the next day. It was awesome! The kids had a great time playing out the back.

This is Lily and her snowman we made when the others were skiing. This is before the big storm.

The snowmen after the storm!

We love Tahoe!

Merry Christmas!

We had our annual Santa visit this week. Lily even snuggled up to the big guy and loudly announced for him to bring her some princess shoes. We love this guy and love that he is our Santa!

Abby always seems to get a chuckle out of the big guy. Can't remember what it was this time!

Okay, now on a serious note! NEWS ALERT!!!! This little girl has gone missing. If you know her whereabouts please let me know ASAP!

Merry Christmas!

I'm Thankful....November in Review

Thanksgiving 2010

Our Thanksgiving was great! Here are some of the pictures we took that day.

The Family

Uncle Chet deep fried a turkey for us. It was DELICIOUS!!! Seriously, the best!!

The whole gang (minus the photographer, me!)

Aunt Tina snuggling with the kiddos.

Soccer

Emily started playing goaling half way through soccer season. She was incredible and had no fear at all. They only won two games the first half of the season and after Em started playing goaling they only lost their very last game (their 4th game in the tournament). It was so much fun to watch her but also so nerve wracking too!

Lily was a good sport at soccer. She got dragged to Emily and Abby's games a

lot.

Abby also did great in soccer this year and scored a handful of goals as well as had quite a few assists. Go Abby!

She probably threw-in at least 80% of the throw-ins. She was a pro at it a could

throw it fast and far.

Abby's New Look

Guess what this brave girl wanted to do this week? Or should I say what her dear best friend convinced her to do? This was one peer pressure instance I was happy about!

She's even smiling!!

Abby and Sarah....aren't they super cute!!

Cold Stone to celebrate. Now that's what I'm talkin' about!
