Ski week 2010



This week was ski week. We ventured up to Tahoe with our family and our travelmates - the Bernsteins. While I am not a great skier, Alan is trying to make sure that our kids are! Can't say that I'm much help for technique but I am a great cheerleader, dresser, boo-boo kisser and bathroom runner.





While Kiira has never taken to ski school, we got Evan to go for one day (with his best friend Ginger - that made ALL the difference). He LOVED it! Still talks about his friend "Kate" that helped him at "ski kool". I gotta say - the kid's a natural.

Kiira seemed to have improved by leaps and bounds as well. Alan took her under his wing and she was skiing blues and greens by the end of the week - all by herself! Go Kiira go!

We can't pass up the spectacular sledding in the area either. Personally - I'd rather sled than do any of the above! We ALL had a good time hitting those slopes as well!





Snowball fight!!! For our kids....anytime....anywhere!!!!



Nothing beats a day on the mountain than a good soak in the hut tub!

Kiira's winter concert - Beatles theme



There is nothing cuter than seeing 22 kids sing a Beatles song. The Reed music teacher, Mr. E, is a saint. He gets these kids so excited about their winter concert and music in general. This year Kiira sang "I get a little help from my friends". She practiced for months before and if ever we were lucky enough to hear the song on the radio - let's just say the car was not a quite place!

Well done Kiira - I will try and get video up of her song as well.....
