Heavenly!!!

Went to to the Heavenly Ski Resort in South Lake Tahoe over Valentine's Day weekend. We had a fabulous time!! Jill (Jeff's sister) and her family have a time share at the Marriott Hotel and we stayed with them. Every thing we could possibly need was within walking distance of our suite. There was a huge outdoor heated pool, shopping, restaurants, a theater, and even an outdoor ice skating rink which we frequented!! Those kids would spend ALL day on the mountain skiing and snowboarding and still want to have snowball fights and ice skate every night!!


Caden loved being outside. He didn't even mind the snow!

Unless it was thrown onto his face in the form of a 'snowball'.

Look at that cute boy getting ready to go outside.
Nicholas, Jenna, and Jessica enjoying some hot chocolate after their nightly ice skating session!!
Here's the rink! Very festive with all of the lights and loud music blaring!

I told Jessica she could throw a snowball at me but gave her a very tiny margin in which it could hit me!! She happily fired away and I was able to capture this shot!!

Caden would take his daily naps in the backpack! Thank goodness!
When all else fails...just stop, drop, and snow angel, baby!!
Jack is skiing! Good job, Jack!!
Our happy little skiers!! The day didn't start out that way though.
Nick loved snowboarding!! He's been again (to Yosemite) since this trip occurred.
Our view from our suite at the Marriott!
Nicholas ready for snowboard lessons. Day 1.
Happy little Jack excitedly ready for day 2 of ski lessons! He can't wait!!
Our 'nighttime' view from our suite.
Jack and Jocelyn finally ready to hit the slopes!
This is what Jill found when she went to check on them when they were waiting for their 1st day of ski school to start!! Poor kids! She gave 'em a little pep talk and had them singing songs by the time she left!!
Our cute little family. Look at the baby's face! Just precious!
We had such a great time. It was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful there!!
