California Knows How to Party

^What home looks like right now... take me back!^

This past weekend was so wonderful! Not only was it Valentine's day (a holiday that I love - I mean seriously, I get to hear how much Clark loves me AND flowers AND chocolates?! What could be better?) and a three day weekend, but it was also William's 13th birthday! And my mom's whole side of the family was getting together for a weekend in Tahoe. So after exchanging gifts and going out to dinner for Valentines (on thursday) we made the long drive home! 

Because I'm a lazy bum, and we all know pictures are more fun anyways.... here's what our weekend looked like: 

^My handsome Valentine! I feel so lucky to be married to him^

^Our Valentines gifts! (not pictured, spot it and a mini foosball table!)^

^On the actual Valentine's day we went out to dinner with the family at Red Robin^

^I spy with my little eye, a mischievous munchkin. It's a rare occasion when you can get away with a smile like that when Mom is taking a picture.^ 

^And we watched David DESTROY on the rugby field! So fun!^

^Then we went up to Tahoe, and although it plunged us into winter weather again, we had so much fun with the family!^ 

^Crazy windy day! There was a guy surfing out there too!^

^Yes it was that cold! Love my big Papa Bear^ 

^For our second Valentine's dinner we went out with all the Aunts and Uncles to Jason's Beach Grille^ 

^And I got the grilled salmon. It definitely made my "best meals ever" list. If you are ever in Incline Village PLEASE go to Jason's and PLEASE get the salmon. ^

^The next day we played games, went sledding, and watched the olympics!^

^My cousin Shepard had a cool snowboard/sled that we made some jumps for!^

^Catching some air!^

^The sledders!^

^Brie was so cute, every time she got to the jump she turned and smiled for a picture!^

^Brave bubba Adam wanted to go down by himself!^

^Clark was Brie's favorite sledding buddy!^

^I spy a photobomber! Sneaky!^

^Do you want to build a snowman? Brie and I had fun pretending to be Elsa and Ana from Frozen^

^We could not get enough of this view of the lake!^

^David was sweet and offered to hold my coat for me^ 

^Ninja David^

^Then we all sang Happy Birthday to this brand new 13 year old! I love you William!^ 

^He definitely had the best reaction to his birthday present - the latest iTouch!^

^The next day while the kiddos, Dad, and Clark went skiing/snowboarding my mom and I went out to brunch at Wildflower Cafe. This is the biggest and best cinnamon roll I've ever had. Luckily we split it, otherwise I think I'd still be in a sugar coma! ^

^Look at that view!^ 

^Thanks for such a great time Tahoe!^
