Christmas Eve

Its lunchtime Christmas Eve and everyone is prepping their pork ribs with secret recipes ready for our rib cook off at Kristina's tonight...cant wait!  Apparently it is going to snow tomorrow so we should have a beautiful white Christmas...we're all getting the hang of living in the snow now and really enjoying it.  On Wednesday Ian took us for a drive around Lake Tahoe...wow...what a beautiful place!  He was a great tour guide filling us in on all the history of the area - took heaps of photos (loving my new camera just quietly) and played in the snow.  Thursday me, Red, Jeremy, Drae and Jade went up to Northstar which is a really flash resort about 10 minutes from Kristinas house.  It was amazing!  They have a big outdoor ice skating rink so Jade had her first go on ice skates.  Then we caught the gondala up the mountain and went tubing...so much fun...you get towed up to the top on an inner tube then slide back down the mountain :)  Yesterday the boys took Jeremy snowmobiling...must say I was a bit nervous waving goodbye to him...but the look on his face when they got back was priceless!  He had the best time and in his words "was happier than a pig in shit" ha ha.  Today they are going out in the valley to shoot targets...I've got a feeling he is not going to want to leave this place!
