What's Christmas without dashing through the snow in a 'two' horse open sleigh in open sight of Lake Tahoe surrounded by the Sierras. That's the advantage of living merely four hours away from winter wonderland. We can soak in the wonders and then trade the icy winter blues for warm sunshine within hours.
Our dear friends gave us an excuse to visit them at their cabin. The storm had passed by just the day before, leaving behind mounds of powder soft play snow. The kids at the cabin were thrilled about sledding down the run dug out by the daddies. We joined them for a trip to the ice skating rink where the 2 year olds impressed us with their balance and fearlessness.
The next morning was reserved for a jingle bell sleigh ride snuggled in the warmth of blankets. I love the Tahoe area draped in its winter cape when the mountains, pine trees, and cottages are perfectly poised for happy happy holidays.
