Christmas in Boise

Christmas was WONDERFUL in Boise this year. I had to fight the husband to get him to go for Christmas Eve. He is ready to stay home for Christmas Eve...I pleaded for one more year. After all, this was the last year with my little brother as he is preparing to go on a mission here in the next few months. We had such a great time......Nate agreed that we had made the right decision. ☺

I wish I had taken more pictures, alas I guess I was enjoying myself to much. Living in the minute is a good thing though.

When we got there we immediately headed over to this really FUN/ a tad bit on the CrAzY Santa's house. He made his 4 wheeler and a trailer into Santa's sleigh and takes people around the neighborhood. He takes it very seriously. It was really fun....and REALLY cold.

We had a fantastic Christmas Eve spent together....minus James and Sierra. We had a fantastic dinner and testimony meeting. It was fun hanging out all day together. We went to a movie (The Muppets) and went bowling. ☺

Everyone was spoiled rotten Christmas morning. We got up EARLY so we could attend church by 9. It was special being able to go to church on actual Christmas Day.

Later on during the week we had a great time seeing many of the friends that we miss so much. We went out for dinner, movies, and had a great game night. I'm so glad so many of them still take the time to see us. ☺

Somehow we were able to CRAM everything into the car and make it back home in one piece. It was a great Christmas. I'm so blessed to have such an amazing family and so many great friends. Gotta admit though, feels nice to be back home!
