January 2011. . . . Day 1

We rang in the new year in Lake Tahoe. As we arrived a snowstorm came in with brute force. Through the day and overnight we saw more than 3 feet of snow pile up. We awoke to find our cars buried and the realization that we were snowed in. This didn't stop the kids (or even the adults for that matter) from building a sledding hill in the back that rivaled all sledding hills. This was just the beginning of what would be a GREAT vacation!
