We were blessed to be able to spend a lot of the Christmas Holiday in Idaho with family again this year. Before we headed out we had a little get together with friends! What would the Christmas season be like without friends and loved ones near?!
Chase hanging with Jeff!
The only two kids at the party got lots of attention! So cute Minnie and Jack!
Having a PAR-TAY!
Say Cheese!
Chase and I also had an early Christmas before heading out to Idaho. This is an ornament I made for Chase. It has a picture of one of the castles we visited in Germany.
Also another activity we participated in was going to a live nativity here in town with our friends Melissa, Jason and Jack!
Once we got into Idaho it was family, family, family and what fun it was! This was my parent's awesome tree this year. Gratitude owing to their front yard for lending it!

When were you in Pocatello? Wish I had known! We drove to Driggs the week after Christmas and stayed in Pocatello the evening of the 28th. I can't believe I STILL haven't met you in person!
