I CAN'T BELIEVE ITS OVER!!

YA FEELIN' LUCKY, PUNK?


SOME OF THE CHRISTMAS SPOILS!


MIKEY'S NEW BEST FRIEND, CITY THE TRICERATOPS!


LUKE AND LEXIE PLAYIN' ON THE STAIRS, A RATHER DANGEROUS PASTIME OF THEIRS.


DOESN'T THE GINGERBREAD HOUSE LOOK GREAT!


It is always amazing to me how quickly Christmas is over. Because, at least for me, I wait for it all year. It's the best. . . to put up the Christmas decorations and the trees (yep, we have two) and wait for Santa to come. And then it happens. Christmas morning arrives and in about 30 minutes, your done! What a shame I say!!!

We did have a great Christmas as you can see from the pictures. Tina and Nathan always have a Christmas Eve party where the kids decorate a gingerbread house and get to break open a pinata. It is always so much fun!! Brian got to be home this year for the first time since we have lived in Kuna! So that was very nice. And the best part of all, we actually had snow to make this Christmas just GRAND.

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas too and we are looking forward to having lots of fun in 2009!!!

First Snowfall!!

Luke looking longingly at the boys playing outside!


Maybe if I smile REALLY big she'll let me go outside.






Josh is quite the snow shoveler!!!



Mike is having a ball in the snow!!!

It is always the best to have the first snowfall of the year be just before Christmas!! It just never seems quite right until it is all white outside. Now, I know for you Utahans that this looks like just a skiff, but let me tell you, this snowfall caused quite the commotion here in Boise. Laugh if you must, but I am very grateful for my 2 inches of snow!!! But I am not enjoying our very, very cold weather. It isn't supposed to get this cold over here. we hope you are white where you are!!! Merry Christmas!!!
