Omri Oblio at Lake Tahoe 2010
This year we had all of Dean's Moms side of the family at our house for Thanksgiving. There was so much good food to eat it was a little ridiculous. Pies, two turkeys, asparagus, potatoes, sweet potatoes, two kinds of stuffing, & the only gravy that has come close to tasting as good as the stuff my dad used to make. My mouth is watering just writing about all this yumminess!
The day after Thanksgiving we all headed to Lake Tahoe to sled & see the snow. It was so bitterly cold. Sledding didn't last long but it was fun to go and visit the beach where Dean & I were married. It's a private beach & you have to own a home in Tahoe to come to it. During the winter they close up the pool & open it to the public. It was fun to visit where it all started for our little family. The lake is where Dean & I met, went on our fist date & eventually got married. It holds a lot of special memories for us.
After returning from the Lake we ate dinner & then took the kids swimming at the pool in the hotel where some of Deans family was staying. It was heated & the girls & Omri loved the water & playing in the "coozie" Jacuzzi. After swimming, we headed up to the hotel room to watch a Charlie Brown special & have a snack. Cindy & I played a game of rummy. It was such a fun evening. The only thing that would have made it better is if Jennifer, Deans sister, hadn't been sick :(
Everyone left on Sunday & the rest of the day was spent cleaning up the remains of our holiday weekend. Dean & I thought we'd stay home for the holidays but have decided to head to San Diego for Christmas & New Years. I'm excited. It will be fun to see everyone again. Hope your Thanksgiving was a great one!
