What better way to begin a new decade than spending a long weekend in snowy Tahoe with 21 friends and six kids? It was the best birthday a now-thirty year old could ever ask for.
To start, Hailey, Joe and I carpooled up with Adam, Kendall and just twelve week old baby Kaia! Hailey and Kaia did great on the road trip and we all had a blast. We made a pitstop in Sacramento for some lunch at a brewery. The adults needed a beer and the babies needed some milk, so it was really a win-win.

Once we were back on the road, it wasn't long until we were there!
 |
| When we arrived, there was no snow to be seen, but this mansion was ready for us! |
The fridge was stocked very shortly there after...
 |
| Beer, check. Gatorade, check. Milk, check. All three major drink groups covered! |
 |
| Oh, and the vodka. |

| Birthday Girl - Wine, Baby, Sash & Crown. |

| Fun on the balcony |
 |
| Our Fabulous Cabin... Birthday Decorations Not Included. |
GT brought up his computer which had just about every video game from every video game console downloaded on it. When the guys weren't at the casinos, they were glued to the TV.
 |
| Hailey, Kaia, Kendall & Alex - Girl Time! |
The group split into groups to cook our meals and it worked out great, especially with such a huge kitchen to work in.
 |
| It takes a village to feed this crew. |
 |
| Hailey loved the attention. Thank you auntie Vicky! |
Friday night a big snow storm came and left a ton of snow for us on Saturday!
 |
| Our Winter Wonderland! |
Hailey welcomed us with her usual 6am wake up call (not too shabby for a babe who goes to bed at 7 and sleeps through the night) so after feeding her, Daddy napped (after a long night at the casino playing craps) and I squeezed in some much-appreciated snuggle time.
