Christmas!!

This year we headed up to Idaho for Christmas! In typical Idaho fashion it was cold Cold COLD!! We had so much fun though staying up late playing board and card games...Calvin had a blast playing with his cousins...adults sneaking out to see Avatar late and night (awesome movie by the way!) ...and just good times all around. I can't wait until next year when we get to spend Christmas with my family though! Lots of pictures so I will be brief....favorite presents? Reebok Easytone sneakers from my lovely hubby :) and my new Olympus waterproof digital camera from my parents!!! Favorite part of all? Watching Calvin LOVE Christmas!

rees and his new horse Bojo hooked up to the sleigh! He took the kids for rides :)


we got to go to the Rexburg temple and do a session which was amazing...and afterwards we hit up the Taco Bus! What is a taco bus you might ask? A school bus converted in to a fully functional taco joint! Yum!!

Calvin and his cousin Trevon! they are two weeks apart :)



The kids all loved playing in the snow! Here is Cal (or should I say Ralphie?) suited up and ready to go!


For FHE we did our own Nativity and Jacie brought some really adorable costumes. Calvin was the donkey :)
Christmas Eve...we went to Jake and Jacie's new AMAZING house to have some fondueeeeee! I LOVE fondue..can NEVER get enough! Here is Calvin opening his Christmas Eve present!
As is always tradition...it's always pajamas :)
Feeling full after all that fondue and watching "up"
