Last night at dinner, we made a last-minute decision to head up to Tahoe this morning. We found a great deal for a suite at a hotel right next to Heavenly in South Tahoe. So we headed up early this morning and both kids did really well on the 3.5-hour drive.

Here is Janie’s outfit that we pulled together using her beanie, a jacket and bib that we got from cousin Katie, and some cheap snow boots that Mama bought at the gas station on the way up.
Peanut also had his own snow outfit complete with a jacket handed down from Rowan, pants that we borrowed from Avia, and socks that were handed down from Henry. Mama bought the hat at the same gas station on the way up.
In town, there wasn’t much snow on the ground. It looked like Spring. So, we headed back up the mountain to find a sno-park that had some good snow for building a snowman. This was Janie’s first time seeing and touching snow so it was really exciting for all of us.
She had such a good time climbing, building, and playing in the snow.
Of course, she wanted to build a snowman and got a little help from Dada. Too bad Mama forgot to bring a carrot for the nose.
As a big fan of Frozen, this was like a dream come true for her.
Peanut also joined in on the fun. We made him a little snow seat and he touched and tried to eat the snow.

This is what it looked like when I made the kids pose together. Janie was grouchy because she had to stop playing for a few seconds and Peanut was sliding out of her arms. What a funny photo of them…and also a classic response from both of them.
Once we got Dada included in the photo, Janie was happier because she didn’t have to hold up her brother and Peanut wasn’t falling over anymore.
After playing in the snow, we stopped at a tacqueria on the way back to the hotel and Janie got a tasty bean and cheese burrito. She really worked up an appetite!
Janie also posed for this photo and said, “Mama, take a picture of us!”
