On Monday we drove up to a snow park that was so epic only videos did it justice, (but they're all on Eli's phone and he's at work) (I'll post later)
Before we took the kids sledding we walked around the ski resort and the shops. Eli took the kids to the Rocky Mountain chocolate shop and let them all pick out a treat of their own. Santa was in the town center in a giant snow globe and was taking pictures, we forked out the $15 for a 4x6. All of the kids walked out of the snow globe convinced that he was the "real" santa. :) We took the kids to one of the museums and when we left Mason threw the biggest fit, everyone in Tahoe was starring at us, kind of embarrassing.
After sledding we drove around for awhile and stopped at a boat dock. I made the kids get out of the car and take a family picture, they were NOT so happy with me since they're jackets were off. See Gavin, yup wouldn't even look at the camera, but I love the picture anyway.
After the picture, the kids ran as fast as they could back to the car and Eli started doing doughnuts in the parking lot.
That night we gave the kids their Christmas pj's and told them all to go to bed so Santa could bring their stockings. Surprisingly it didn't take them that long to fall asleep, because sledding wore them out. Although when "Santa" tried to come Kayla kept waking up and it took "Santa" 2 hours to get everything set out without being heard. There were a bunch of people outside the hotel having a party and at 12:00am I asked Eli to go out and yell at them to shut up, he didn't. BUT at 1:00am he went crazy nuts and screamed his head off....the party ended then and there, we didn't hear another peep.
