Lake Tahoe!

A wonderful friend in our ward was kind enough to offer us her timeshare in South Lake Tahoe for the weekend! We were so excited to go since John and Brandon had never been, and I had only been there once before, years and years ago.

After getting settled in, we decided to go explore! We discovered some great stores and an amazing art gallery. While we were shopping we found him...Santa! Right inside a beautiful holiday store!

After he visiting with Santa and Mrs. Claus, Santa told Brandon to pick a toy from his big red sack. He said he could dump them all out, or stick his head right in! Brandon did both! He decided on a cute stuffed tiger.




The crisp air and twinkling lights made it such a festive place to be. We watched ice skaters perform and we danced around to the Christmas music playing.

That night back at the condo, we went in the spa, had hot cocoa and watched a movie snuggled up as a family. The next day we enjoyed more sightseeing.


Brandon thought that going across the stateline over and over and over again, was really cool! He kept jumping back and fourth between California and Nevada. ;)

Brandon had the BEST time sledding!! He kept going up higher and higher on the slope until I said he could not go up any farther! I didn't want any injuries!













We had such a memorable trip. We are very lucky to have such a sweet friend who made this trip possible! We are hooked on Tahoe and can't wait to go again!
