Hot Tubbing in the Snow!

I finally figured out how to get the videos off of Gavin's camera so I thought I'd share this crazy night from December at Sunni's apartment complex. Crazy people!!

A Warm and Wonderful Christmas

Keeping Grandma warm while we open the gifts!Before andAfter!

Gavin's awesome snowboarding hill.

All snuggled up on Christmas Eve!

Always room for one more!
It was lovely to have Sunni and Alan here to share the fun! Mom arrived a week before Christmas and we put her right to work. Shopping and wrapping, music and movies, good food and good company - it was all wonderful:)

Dan & Honey and the kids came to Boise!!!!

This is the incredible candy house we built!

Of course, we made a visit to the science museum. Janey loved running. Brookie and Emma got to use the "blue screen" and be in TV.

We decorated the tree - what a lot of memories it holds.

We went hot tubbing at Sunni's - crazy people in the snow!

Salt Lake & Christopher's Baptism was wonderful!

We loved being there on December 12th:)

oh yeah

this is Pippin', Emma's cat. he's an outdoor cat despite the picture. he's our mouser.

our tree, not too bad for out in the woods.

Dan works thru the holidays so this was our Christmas break a little early.

Our Christmas Break

Dan and I haven't been to the Boise temple, where we got married, for 10 years, so that was great!! Thanks Libby for babysitting.

We haven't been to Boise for 4 years, when Will was brand new, so it was really fun.

Janey really loved that swing. She has not swung since we left ABQ. 5 months.

Snowman in the making with Grandma.

this is the snowman in SLC at Christophers baptism. That was a blast Chris and Rachel, thanks for letting us share in the fun.

Ethan and Will falling down the "hill"

that silly stray cat that wouldn't leave us alone

Christopher "King of the snowman"

random pic. the kids love that silly banister, they slide down it all day long.

hunting for the perfect Christmas tree. our picture for our Christmas card came from this excursion just 2 weeks ago, despite the date on the photo.

our new hickory island.

we got our tree 5 min. from our house.

another shot of the island.

Can you believe he's 60???!!

Is it possible that he has passed the 6 decade mark? That's what the calendar says, but his joy and delight in life will keep him young forever! (We hope!!!) We love you Gav! You are the best:)
