Dreaming of a White Christmas

So we get to Tahoe.

It looks like this...


The view from our deck is this...


And K falls in love with the snow, like this...


Then my nephews have these...


So the kids do this all weekend...






The biggest kid even does it, risking popping his shoulder out for the 24th time...


Best weekend home and front yard...EVER.


Did I mention the biggest snowball...EVER?!


She's asking Santa for a sled for Christmas.


And a hill of snow for her front yard.

Not sure that second thing is going to fly.

But, you have to agree, it's a sweet dream.

Tahoe, will you Marry Me?

You know how when you're on vacation...

You're having fun,

You don't have to work,

It's all relax, drink, repeat?

Yeah, I miss that.

I miss Lake Tahoe.

I miss our vacation with my husband's family, spending hours with his sister and her family.  The boys, ages 1.5 and 3.

I'm vacation-sick.

Like home-sick, but for more time off, and with pay.

Oh yeah, that doesn't really exist.

Hub misses this...


And avoiding these on his mountain bike...


My Boy misses this...


and is itching to ride this with dad...


K misses this...

..and can you blame her?!

DQ misses holding her....


and well hanging out with the rest of these little guys...


I miss doing this on the Tahoe Queen Cruise...


And...the views of here (Emerald Bay)...


Seriously, Tahoe, marry me.  I cannot leave you.  It's so hard to say goodbye.
