Christmas in Boise

This year we had two Christmas'. Donny & I went to Boise to celebrate with my family and even better, my little sis who is a pilot and works every Christmas was able to come up so we celebrated it early. I haven't been home for Christmas for 2 Christmas' now, so it was nice. Donny & I taught our lesson to our Valiant 10's and then we drove to Boise. We celebrated Christmas on Monday, Dec 12th. We met up to take family pictures with my friend Tiff who's a photographer. She even brought her daughter Jess.

and here's my cute parents:

and then we had a big Christmas Dinner at my sister Heather's. Then we opened presents. I got a bear bell and deer warning from my sister Natalie. Donny gave me a GPS. My parents gave us a giftcard to Costco. I gave my mom a book about our trip to Hawaii together and some scrapbook paper that's perfect for her. I also gave my sister Heather a book of her wedding. I gave each of my siblings a picture of all of us from my wedding.

We also went bowling as a family and since Donny dislocated his shoulder, he bowled left handed and even won all of us the second game. It was a miracle!

We also spent one afternoon at Tiff & Doug's ranch and seeing their girls. Chad was also there. Emiline has grown so much and I was excited to see her, but she was napping the whole time I was there, so Tiff told me to go poke her to wake her up so I could see her. I poked her and she looked and me and asked, "Do you remember me?" and she did! I couldn't believe it. She was walking and talking. Cute girl. It's always fun to see Tiff and Doug.

I went to lunch also with all my sisters at Rumbi's.

Overall, it was a good time. Love my family!
