This year my parents had the cabin over Christmas and so we spent Christmas in Tahoe. It was absolutely wonderful. The week before we were all sick with the flu and lots of school was missed, but we got well just in time for the holidays.
There was some snow when we got to the cabin, but not much. But then on Christmas Eve it started to snow and kept snowing through bits of Christmas Day. It was so beautiful. I love listening to snow falling. It is such a magical and quiet sound. The cabin was so cozy and we were able to do our fun Christmas Eve traditions by the fire. My girls love Christmas Eve. It is almost more exciting than Christmas Day. They get to open new pajamas and the gifts that they gave each other. We eat yummy food, sing, read the nativity, and read a Christmas picture book. After we did all of our little traditions we played a game to wind down before falling asleep.
The girls were so sweet and grateful about everything. Every Christmas seems to be the best one yet. A couple of days before Christmas, we went sledding at a snow park because there wasn't much snow around the cabin yet and we all had a great time but got a little bruised. Sledding can be dangerous! Abby was the most adventurous and said to me, "Mom, I feel like I just can't stop sledding!" That girl has more energy than all of us combined. Then we ate dinner at the pizza place we go to every time we visit. Such a wonderful and magical Christmas.
