Tahoe for Christmas with the Greenes

We flew up to Tahoe to spend the holidays with the Greenes. It was a really fun time. It snowed almost every day we were there and there was fresh powder snow. On Braydon's birthday Bray, Craig, Kim & Jake skied Mt Rose and Jesse, Rick & I decorated the condo for his birthday and got a cake. Morgan and Bry and their kids came by for a visit and we had a little birthday party. The 24th we played in the snow in the back of the condo, sledding and laughing. Then we went to Mass. On Christmas we spent the day opening presents and playing in the snow again. The 26th everyone skied Homewood, Siena took lessons and loved it. Shelley came to visit and her and I grabbed lunch. Each night we watched Star Wars and played games. The kids LOVED hanging with their cousins!

Santa Visit - Dec 2015

Braydon decided he wanted to bring pictures of the legos he wants to show Santa when we visited him this year. Santa was very sweet about it, patiently listening to him as he described and pointed out the ones he wanted. Siena froze and told him she wanted a train. When I asked her later if she wanted a train she said "no. it's a secret what I want"
