This post is a bit later than I'd hoped and slightly out of order but I couldn't NOT post about our Christmas Trip!
This photo is one of my favorites even though it's missing a few very important people!!
Highlights of the trip-In Chronological order:
Left Boise Friday night 12/19; Bad roads and snow driving down; We nearly hit a good sized deer (on the not great roads!); stopped in a really cruddy motel
;got to California Saturday night; Spent time with Family; Sunday shopped for Christmas gifts and got everything at 1 store...for not much $$ (and managed that without going to Wal*Mart!); Spent time with my Mom, Dad, Sisters, Nephew and Grandparents; Played Guitar hero with Lance, my sister Mollie, her Boyfriend Scott and my sister Mysha and her husband Matt; Mollie came up with the idea that the three sisters should wear matching dresses for Christmas; We went shopping for the dresses, found them at Forever 21 for $13.80
; went running with Mollie; Wrapped gifts; played Guitar Hero; ate In & Out; ate a lot of food; Did Christmas
We had gifts for 9 Adults and 3 kids, We all had a blast but missed my little brother Charlie!; Ate Christmas dinner; played Guitar hero; spent time with family-watched my little nephew and the girls bond
;packed up to go home; Went to lunch with my Family at In & Out and said "See you soon"; Started the long drive home; Got stuck in Horrible traffic, 2 1/2 hours to go 25 miles to turn around and try an alternate route; Had good weather and roads on the remainder of the trip; Came home to a wet bunch of mail on our doorstep along with a police officer's card (our mail was stolen); Settled back in at home; and started thinking BIRTHDAYS!
Hope you had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We had the pleasure of having my Brother-in-law Joel and his lovely wife Natalie come to visit us from Dec 13th till this afternoon. We had a really fun time just hanging out together. We didn't have any schedule to follow, just enjoyed each others company and went with the flow. The boys installed a new cabinet in the kitchen, that was badly needed for storage!) that will serve as a my new pantry! I'll let Lance post the pic and write more about that project ![]()
We had some great meals together, watched some movies, talked and even made it to the MAF Christmas Chapel and took a short tour of the new building. We drove them to the airport just a few hours ago and it seemed like our time together went way too fast! I can't believe that 2008 is coming to a close at warp speed...this whole year seemed to literally fly by...
