Lake Tahoe

What a wonderful wedding my sister and her husband hosted in Lake Tahoe!! Our families had a beautiful time of fellowship and fun together. I don't think I've ever been to a more beautiful place before in my life. I'm not that traveled, though!! Ha ha! We arrived in Reno on a Friday and made our way to our lodge. The entire group of 18 friends and family went out to eat for dinner. Then Heather, Dustin, Jonathan and I went out to spend some time together before the big day. The time I spent with my sister was truly priceless. That is one great pro to having a destination wedding. The time was much more intimate with the ones you love, rather than a huge production with lots of people and no close fellowship. Jackson spent lots of time with Gran Pat while I hung out with Heather getting ready for her ceremony. Jonathan spent a lot of time preparing for his part of the wedding and also spending time with Dustin. They have been friends since high school, so having him join the family has been extra special. We woke up Saturday morning to a beautiful snow....Jackson's first official!! It really was a perfect day since the sun came out later to make the wedding perfect. We celebrated after the festivities with more of the same. We had the best dinner at a local resturante on the second floor with private waiters and the second floor all to ourselves. And if you think we couldn't fit anymore into the weekend, we went snow skiing on Sunday. Some of the fam went snowmobiling in the afternoon. Jonathan and I continued to ski since he had never been before. We can't wait to go back. The reception in Jackson followed 3 weeks later. I waited to post this blog until I had those pictures as well, but then I didn't end up taking any. I guess keeping up with a 5 month old made keeping up with a camera near impossible!! Enjoy these from the wedding!!There had been a snow storm a week earlier, so the snow base was incredible.





This is an example of how deep the snow was. There really wasn't a true path and mom had a blast sinking into a drift!!

Lake Tahoe is truly one of God's greatest creations. The time we all got to spend together was wonderful.
