Snow, snow and more snow!!

After a hideous bumpy 12 hour flight in which I cried in the first hour...we made it!  Red was there to meet us at San Fran airport and we did the big run into each others arms.  Then after jamming our 3 ginormous suitcases into her little Audi we hit the road heading for Truckee.  So weird being on the other side of the road...especially on the freeway...the fast lane is the slow lane!  It was a slow drive over the summit of the mountain with everyone pulling over to put chains on their cars to get through the snow.  After 5 hours we finally made it out to Sierraville where Kristinas partner Ians parents live in a lovely big warm home.  Had a fun night with everyone catching up and drinking duty free vodka...finally hit the sack at midnight.  This morning Red and I went to Reno for some groceries and I had my first Costco experience...what a store!  They have everything from alcohol to groceries to tires to tvs to clothes...crazy!  Now we're back home in the warm and Jade is rugged up in 2 jackets and snow boots and outside with Kristina having her first play in the snow.  Time for my first lesson in watching NFL...
