We had such a good day at Alpine we decided to go back to Alpine again instead of going to Squaw. There was not as much skiing done today by the adults as we decided to watch the KC Chiefs football game. The girls did however go out on their own and ski while we were watching the game which was a pretty neat thing that they are old enough to go out for 2 hours on their own, have fun and be responsible.

And the last few runs of the day were a blast.

And we are on the mountain. We skied Alpine today and the snow was real nice. Better than I had anticipated or heard. We actually had an epic day and purely enjoyed ourselves. Good times had by all.

We have NOT been very diligent with our journals the last few weeks. The girls in theirs and me via the website. I don’t think I’ve posted/updated anything since we got back to Oakland.

We spent the day getting caught up on work.

We enjoyed another day of hanging around the house. Playing in the snow. Playing with games.

Truckeee

Always nice up here in Truckee. There is not a lot of snow around the house but enough to play in for a bit.

We had a bear break into our house a few weeks ago. Thankfully we had friends come up and stay in the house and noticed this and cleaned up nicely but the friendly little bear did break our cabinets so today was errand and fixing day. Edwin took the girls to Home Depot in Reno, went to Scheels, and the grocery store.

I stayed at home and cleaned up our “donation” room gettting rid of things ready to donate. But I think we might have fun doing a garage sale next summer.

We were planning on leaving today. It takes a lot to get moving again. The last few days have been re-organizing the RV, cleaning my moms house, bringing things back to Estates Drive that had been brought over the last 2 weeks etc…

Now that we’ve been home for a few weeks, no one is really looking forward to getting back on the road. Everyone is liking the space and hanging out with cousins and friends.

Edwin had some things to finish up at 1700 and Julia’s don’t start school until tomorrow so they came over in the morning. We took down my mom’s Christmas tree which is always a big project so it was nice that we were all there to help.

Edwin didn’t make it back from 1700 till late afternoon and we had since decided to go up to Tahoe for a few days we felt it was no rush to shove off. Plus it is Laura’s birthday tomorrow so we decided to stick around for that and leave to Tahoe’s from Julia’s tomorrow night after dinner and cake.

The girls were over at Julia’s and I had been procrastinating enough, so I started my end of the year accounting.

We went to Morgan in the afternoon and saw Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker.

Then Emily came over for a sleepover in the RV. Yay.

The girls had a sleepover in the RV last night and got to play with a friend this morning.

Vera and I got hair cuts while Isabella practiced Simply Piano most of the day.

The we all went over to JJ’s for Laura’s birthday party. Isabella helped do the lip gloss activity. Emily and Vera performed put on a show and did magic tricks. Claire did jokes. It was a nice little party.

We knew we would stay for New Years and now it is time to start thinking about getting back on the road.

We spent the day doing some math, journaling, cleaning the RV and getting our things together in my moms house.

Morning of cards.

Then we went into the city to have lunch with Harel and Bende. Don’t think we’ve all been together since back in college. It was a real nice little afternoon. Good have us all together for a hot minute. And it’s always a plus to get in some Otis time.
