Skiing in Tahoe!

We went to Tahoe last weekend for our one and only ski trip of 2009! There were 9 of us in a rental house (thanks to Jen for organizing!) and it was a beautiful weekend!

Jen & I worked on Friday while Dave and everyone else skied (Jen is pregnant, so no skiing for her this year!)

I made Elizabeth's famous yellow cake batter cookies on Friday and, although they were flat as pancakes due to the elevation, they were still delicious!



On Saturday, the entire crew (sans Jen) skied and we had a great day! We were at Alpine and it was really fun.

Jen made a fantastic chicken dinner (with sous chef hubby Alex), followed by a heated game of "Celebrity" that left us all in tears laughing!

Dave, Ali, Monica and Clayton also made use of the hot tub. We have a "tradition" that snow angels need to be made while in our bathing suits and Dave and Clayton decided to relive their 2007 induction. I thought this was HILARIOUS!

We drove back on Sunday...it took us 3 hours to get to Tahoe early (4am) on Thursday morning, but 6 hours to get back to SF on the return! Well worth every moment.

It is weekends like this that make me so grateful for our fantastic friends! More photos can be found here:
