Christmas in Idaho

We trade off each year where we are going to spend Christmas. This year, we spent Christmas in Rexburg with my family. We had such a great time. (well, at least I did. Caleb ended up getting sick and we had to take him to the emergency room on Christmas day. He's okay. He just had a bad case of Bronchitis.) It's so great to be able to relax, play games, eat and just be with family.

On Christmas Eve, we all got together and had dinner,
read the Christmas story

Kinsley sang "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" in her Angel costume,

and we opened some presents.



Grandpa made the twins some fun pull toys and Kinsley and Oliver banks.


Grandma made us fun quilts. They are levi quilts and she stuffed the pockets with fun treasures. Here we are looking for the treasures.

We all went to bed and woke up on Christmas morning to a snow storm. It probably snowed a couple feet that night. We watched everyone open presents. Then, Caleb and I trudged through the snow to the Emergency room. Dad let us borrow his FJ Cruiser, so we made it there with no problems.

Later that day we played in the snow a little bit. We did some sledding and dug a little snow cave.

We are so grateful to have family and friends and that we are able to see them as often as get to. Thanks mom and dad for such a great time. It was a good break from life.

Love it, love it love it! Tell your parents they can never get rid of the tree wall in the basement. Also, guess who I found on facebook? Shannon. She can run but can't hide, no just kidding, but I was excited to find her.

Okay, so now I am super envious of all the snow. I really do miss it every year. I just want to go sledding! Looks like you had a way fun Christmas. I love seeing how much your family has grown, so many new little people in your life :)
Happy New Year!

Now that looks like a fun Christmas! Quilts and Wooden Toys -- that is exactly what I would imagine from your parents!

(And I second Tara about the Tree wall. I've got a lot of memories in front of that tree wall.)
