Snow Trip 2012 (Big Bear Lake)













For all of you who didn't believe that "Better Marriage Blanket" was real, here's the proof!
(In case you're wondering what this is -- it's a blanket that absorbs all the gases and somehow makes your marriage better :)

Ksusha:
"hey, daddy, look! it's Ksusha in a driver!"

Eating lunch

Our hotel had 2 queen size beds, so Ksusha had one of them all to herself! Enjoy little girly while it lasts, Ellie is growing up and soon you're gonna have to share :)

we even had a little kitchen and a fireplace! Awesome sause!





Turns out Ksusha is not scared of anything. She said going down the hill on her belly was the best.

Little Elina loved going to the snow, even though she only got to watch Ksush go down the slides. What a selfless Shmorgedy Borgenstein!



Big Bear Lake was right outside our hotel. Ksusha loved feeding the duckies. Especially when the bread would land in the water and the ducks had to run/swim as fast as they could to get it from the shore to the water.

The hotel also had a playground. (However, the whole ground was covered with ice. haha. more fun for us!)
Go "Big Bear Lakefront Lodge"!

Praise God for an awesome vacation!
