Christmas and Tahoe

Whew! Christmas is over, and all of the decorations are put away. All but the tree, which is to go into its box TONIGHT! I'm ready for this house to be "legular" (Jack-speak for "regular") again.
We had a wonderful Christmas, spending the 25th at our house with family and the 26th at my parents' for Christmas number two!
A few days after Christmas, we departed for Tahoe where we did not vacation, but we did stay somewhere besides our own home. (Vacations are relaxing. One cannot relax with a two year old and a baby!) We rang in the new year with Scattergories, Dick Clark, sparkling cider, and a nursing Henry.
Here are pictures to highlight the last few weeks...
Henry and Grandma...
Brown family Christmas...

Cousins!Jack got a two-wheel bike (with training wheels) for Christmas. His reaction, upon seeing the bike, was "Whoah." But actions spoke louder than words, as he rode that bike all night until we went home...

The next generation...

Jack LOVED sledding! The faster, the better. We bought a small sled with a wide bottom and a little seat, and started him on the kiddie hill, but soon moved him to the big hill (starting halfway down), and he has never had such a long attention span! Joah carried him (on the sled) halfway up the hill and passed him off to my dad who started him down while Joah stood at the bottom to block him from any trees.
Jack catches air on the sled...

Henry mostly hung out in the baby bjorn...
...but he enjoyed his first trip to Tahoe too!

Next up, my cousin Jamie's wedding in a week and a half and our friend Chrissy's wedding in Carlsbad (near San Diego) at the end of February. How will an eight-hour car ride go with the two boys? Stay tuned to find out!
