Super Bowl 2010!

Hmmmmm, except, I don't even know who is playing. hehe

Oh well!

Mike informed us he had never had a Mickey Mouse pancake before! Shocking, right? We of course had to change that!

Happy Mike!

The girls played games and read magazines while the boys played MW2.


Then of course we gathered around for some Super Bowl action!

I had to take a picture of the biggest icicle I have ever seen!

Tahoe was the best!

Waking up to snow is pretty awesome. Even if I'm not much of a snow person, I love waking up to it a few times a year! :) As long as it's not in San Francisco!

This was my view waking up this morning...

We got up, ate breakfast and hit Northstar bright and early!

Most of us went snowboarding. There were a few that stayed back for various reasons. But, here is the snowboarding group.


Note: These pictures (except for the first one) were taken with my little camera, and some were taken by my friend Katie. As much as I wanted to bring my big camera with me, I knew it would have been a bad, bad idea!

Anyway, it snowed the whole entire day! We had tons of fresh powder to board in and we loved every second of it!

Here we are at the top of the mountain...still snowing!

And more boarding and more snowing...

Nice warm, dry me...

Frozen me! Even my braids were frozen. But, I still have a smile on my face and loving it!

What a perfect way to end the day!

Where's my favorite place on earth besides Maui? LAKE TAHOE!

I basically grew up in Tahoe. My family has a cabin on the west shore in Homewood. My grandpa taught me how to ski when I was 3.5 years old! I instantly became his "ski partner" and we would hit the slopes just about every weekend together.

Being a Cali Girl, I am not a fan of the cold. In San Francisco, when the temperature drops below 60, I am freezing! I can't say I love the snow. I love to snowboard, and I will build a snowman, snowcave or have a snowball fight but I doubt I could live where it snows.

However, I do think Lake Tahoe is absolutely beautiful in the winter! Especially this winter. You know all of those posts about it raining in San Francisco? Well, that means it has been snowing in Tahoe! You can imagine all of the snow then...the most I have seen in about 10 years or so!

This weekend we headed to Tahoe with a bunch of cool friends for some snowboarding and Super Bowel watching!

First stop...Chains and Beer, of course!!

I was super excited to see snow! I took these next few from the car. I think they turned out pretty cool! It was snowing a lot once we hit the summit!



Koa, the other best dog in the world, was able to come along too. He's not sure about me taking his picture though.

We got right to the important stuff...stocking the fridge!

Koa was ready for bed. Isn't he so cute?
