2016 Begins

We began the New Year of 2016 with a very special day. It was Friday and we enjoyed it very much with our new Submitter family for Friday prayer. Thanks to God, we found these new people to be so much more uplifting and welcoming. Arya truly enjoyed the sermon and thought about it all week.
We ate lunch there and of course tea with treats. :)

Afterwards it was all about playing with toys and gifts opened for the new year!

Arya got a few games and star wars toys and legos.

Then it was off to Lake Tahoe on a mini-vacation! It was magical and so beautiful. The road was gorgeous as always with its beautiful trees and the lake and then to our hotel with lots of amenities.







We got to enjoy the snow and Arya learned how to cross country ski! it was a bit difficult at first but after a while, he got the hang of it.

The snow came down so softly but it snowed a lot and thankfully we got out of the boonies before the road closed!

Arya got to get Ali a little bit with a mini-snow fight.

Then after some fun, we stuffed ourselves at the food buffet!

It was a nice 3 day rest and eat and scenery, then back to life :)







It was a long ride...came home and crashed!

The scaryest part was when we went to the mountains and had no phone connection whatsoever.
