ReAlLy?!?!?!

Moving in the snow is not as fun as it looks! And it makes you feel bad if you ask friends for help! (: But we will remember this move..since it hopefully is our last...yep I have declared that moving stinks and I never want to move again!! In several years if I change my mind, I will make sure to read this post!! haha (: Thanks to all those who helped us! You all rock!!

Sunday =Well dressed kids

My Mom sent the kids some very nice Sunday clothes. They all looked very handsome!

So blessed!!

And here we are..the New Year. I am so looking forward to 2010!! Anything has to be better then last year! (; We have so much to look forward to this year AND we are so blessed! I am a very lucky girl!!

A tree...a great snow...and festival of lights!

As we waited for ourhouse to close, we were at David's parents house. The kids and I put together the Christmas tree...and for what the kids knew...this was going to be our family tree for the year. It was decorated in teal and silver and was very pretty!

We finally got a GREAT snow! A snow that STUCK! We actually needed to shovel our driveways, but still not like all the snow we got back East! We had fun!!...especially the kids!

We had a great idea to go to the festival of lights in Boise at the Botanical Gardens. Our friends the Bryants decided to join us. Things I did not think of...it snowed and was freezing, it was at night, and we were going to be outside. The will of wanting to go was greater than common sense this year. lol (:

By one of the many fires...

It looks so fun and inviting doesn't it....

Paige, Samantha, and Dylan

We quickly walkeed through and we quickly left. It was such a bummer. It really was so beautiful and in theory would have been fun. Even if we had no kids, we would have lasted the same amount of time. We were frozen! Hey at least we tried!!! (:

After we warmed up...

...we made Gingerbread houses...well we made graham cracker houses. We had a great time! I love doing this at Christmas time, and the kids always take pride in their homes! (: Thank goodness for Winco and their candy bins!! It was very cheap and very fun!! I am grateful for family Christmas traditions!
