50th/truckee

last weekend we headed up to truckee

and celebrated my dads 50th birthday.

we had a fun little surprise party!

  the first morning came really quick with both girls waking up before 6:30

luckily tanner is a morning person 

and watch the girls while i prepared overnight french toast.

 they had fun playing games on the ipad

and running around playing with toy story toys.

 emi loved claire's hair...she kept calling it rapunzel hair.

 eddie was in charge of the fire and he did a wonderful job.

 we did lots of visiting.

 and the girls watched movies.

 claire woke up with amazing bed head every morning.

 we took family pictures.

 dad celebrated his birthday...

he received a sports illustrated from the year/date he was born

from his brother...pretty cool gift.

 we enjoyed having claire around, and we are sad she lives so far away.

 emi enjoyed the snow the morning we were leaving.

she loved to eat it.

claire looking cute one morning.

 and the best for last. a crazy family picture.

and this is G rated compared to the rest.

we all had a good laugh though!
