Michelle's Madness

A blog in (mostly) pictures

Yet another fun Christmas has passed. The boys enjoyed their loot and the grown ups enjoyed spending time together watching movies and munching.






My dad

The boys got lots of Star Wars stuff, including a Clone Trooper helmet and gun for Jacob and a General Grievous (from the Clone Wars cartoons) gun. From Santa Jacob got a scooter and Logan got a big Hot Wheels city playset, which he loves. As he is carrying it off to his room, you can see that the box is almost as big as he is.







Hanukkah gift from the in-laws for Brian and I:


YAY!


Several days later we went on a snow adventure to Reno. We found a frozen reservoir in California near the California/Nevada border and took the boys to play for a while. Then we spent the night at the Silver Legacy, which I had gotten a really good deal for online.


A good breakfast at Bubbie's house to get the day started. Yummy!



On the trip to Reno:




Mr. Cool, ready for the snow and happy to have his picture taken....


...unlike big brother, who is not as tolerant of the paparazzi




The view from our hotel room on the 21st floor (and the reflection of my camera in the window)

It's snow time!


So excited!


Logan's not so sure about this stuff






What path?






I love this guy!





It's snowball time...











Our snowman


Our snowman got cold... Jacob shared his jacket

My super dirty car when we got home:





Lots of fun was had by all. We learned that the buffets aren't worth the money, the "Awful Awful" burger at the Nugget Grill in Reno is tasty but not as massive as we were lead to believe, the boys like the idea of a snowball fight better than an actual snowball fight, and packing a massive backpack of snacks and stuff to do for the kids is always a good idea.
