Tahoe for Tom's birthday

We headed up to the lake for Tom's birthday weekend, and brought Sunny along.  

Aren't they cute?

It was one of those typical bumper season weekends, not too crowded, with cold and clear weather.  

We went to town to stroll and shop. I made my kids take a picture in front of the big Christmas tree in town. 

Sunday was Tom's birthday, so we went out to dinner at a pizza place we like.  He got this mug of beer and we all toasted him. 

Monday was the first day of the Thanksgiving break for the kids so no school and no rush to get back to real life. We went down to Donner Lake for exploring and pictures. 

Cuties that I forced to be outdoors but ended up liking the adventure until we all got too cold.
