Grandma, Grandpa, Derek, Terri, Deacon, Maren, Jana & Elias piled in Grandpa's van and headed up Highway 50 toward South Lake Tahoe.

Maren, ready to go.

Found a nice place a few miles west of Tahoe... Elias was the first to slide down the snowy slopes!

Deacon played in the snow for the very first time!

So did Maren, who wasn't sure what to make of the deep drifts she kept sinking into.

Building a snowman!

One day before his 75th birthday, Grandpa was the biggest kid of all!
o
Playin' and thinkin'.
o
As usual, Grandma held the coats, bags, and whatever else we gave her.

Derek, ready for a fight.
o
After taking many snowballs to the back from his ruthless uncle, Elias finally got even!

The parking lot was just as much fun as anywhere else!

Heading back to Sacramento.

Grandma and Grandpa

We warmed up later with a great lunch at Buttercup Pantry in Placerville, CA.

Happy cousins!
