We went to Donner Lake (Tahoe) this past weekend with the Kensler-Iversen Family
We rented a pretty home with two sets of bunk beds & a spiral stair case to a secret “kids only” hideaway. Kid’s Paradise to Erik’s angst.

Suzanne & I took Brynn, Kedryn & Emily to ice skate @ Squaw on New Year’s Eve Day.
Brynn loves ice skating & is very good at it. This is only her third time on ice skates! She’s a natural!
She even met a friend, Brent, on the cable car up to the ice skating rink. Turns out Brent’s BD is January 18th and Brynn’s is January 19th. They thought that was “totally freaky” and started chatting away for the next 2 hours!!
Emily fell asleep on the cable car ride up to the Ice Skating rink and remained asleep for almost 2 hours straight. She missed the entire ice skating session! Glad she didn’t know!
Emily happily awake on the way down on the cable car
Beautiful view from the cable car at Squaw
Gorgeous Tahoe View

We went sledding in Tahoe City twice while we were there. The first time was a blast! The second time was a bust!
Emily enjoying sledding
Again and again and again …
Max excited to be pushed down the hill by Auntie SuzyQ
Brynn having fun
Brynn & Emily going down the hill together
Kedryn completely enjoying himself and I would say that he was the most successful sledder! Never had an injury and always had a smile! GO KEDRYN!
Suzanne coming down the hill just seconds before she took a tumble off the sled! Ripped her jeans and cut up her leg! 
There were a few minor injuries during our sledding!
We went to South Lake Tahoe this weekend with friends & had a fabulous time!
Emily having fun in the snow in the backyard of the rental house
She absolutley LOVED the snowball maker! She would make snowballs and then give them to me to “hold”.
Tubing @ Soda Springs and refusing to wear her jacket! Brrrrr!!
Coming down the hill …
