My parents rented a cabin for my whole family to spend time together in Lake Tahoe for the week between Christmas and New Years. It was absolutely AMAZING! I have not been to the snow in forever and it was so much fun to bring Cooper there for the first time - he LOVED the snow (even though he had a few sad moments about having to wear his gloves). We were able to relax a ton, play lots of games, eat yummy food and just hang out together without having to rush here or there. I will say again, it was AMAZING! Thanks, Mom and Dad. Here are tons of pics from our great trip...
We went to lunch right when we arrived and Cooper entertained us all. How can you get upset at this huge grin even though he has the plate on his HEAD!
Mom and Me!

We all had a blast playing games. Our two favorites were "Partini" and "WOW Cranium"...I even learned a little bit about history and stuff :) The hardest part of both games were the humdingers - you had to hum a song and your team had to guess...no one could ever get it, but it was soooo funny! Here are some pics of all of us enjoying our evenings playing games...
I got all the girls matching pj's and socks...we called ourselves the "Gingys!" Lauren had some too but her and Matt left before we could all be matching...here is my mom, sis and I

We spent most of the days playing in the snow. Chad and my dad built an awesome sled run right outside the cabin. Coopie loved using the shovel to "help" with the snow. At night Chad, my dad and Blake (Mallory's BF who we got to meet for the first time!) had crazy snowball fights in the dark and went on nighttime hikes - definitely a boy thing! We loved the snow...for a week at least - I'm still not quite sure if I could be someone to live in the snow.
We all had so much fun sledding...

Snowball fun!
Cooper LOVED helping Daddy shovel the snow!

Homewood - Trying out the slopes! For the first time ever Mallory and I decided to hit the slopes. I was a bit nervous but thought, oh seriously, how hard could it be? I skied (well tried to) and Mallory snowboarded! My dad and Chad were skiing with me and Mall's boyfriend Blake went snowboarding with her. One problem - I didnt get past the bunny slope...I was terrible! Well, going down I was okay...but I COULD NOT AT ALL stop - meaning I had to fall on purpose so I would not run into people. So needless to say it was very frustrating and my day ended a little early. On a positive note - I am totally willing to try again! Everyone else had a great time. Yay for them!!!
Here we are - First day on the slopes...
Pretty obvious I've never done this before
The cute lovebirds.
Dad and Chad! Definitely enjoyed their day and even hit a black diamond.
Each night my dad made a fire in our cabin. He always made fires when I was growing up so it was pretty much the norm for all of us...except for Cooper. He was so interested in watching Grampie make the fire every night. He would get close, then scoot back and even get low to try to see underneath the wood...it was quite adorable!
Ever been to the BridgeTender in Tahoe City? If not, you totally should! And you should order the pork sandwich...YUMMY! Here are some pics from the night we went there...long wait, no highchairs...but delicious food!
The last day we went to Downtown Truckee and walked around the shops and ate some lunch. We took Misty (my parents dog) and Coop had a blast with her. What a nice day to end such a fabulous trip! Thanks Mom and Dad for such a great time!

Be back again soon :)
