Christmas Trip

Happy New Year! I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday season!

We had the most wonderful trip to Idaho! The trip was so nice because we got to hang out with Ryan's brother Dan and his wife Sarah. We also hung out in Cascade Idaho where Paxton and Gauge's Grandma and Grandpa Kerlee live. Cascade Idaho is literally in the middle of the mountains. Don and Sheila (grandma and grandpa Kerlee) re-built an existing house and have made their own little bit of heaven in Cascade. There was not a better place for santa to visit.

We were able to show Paxton some things that he has never seen or experienced before. He fed horses and rode on a snowmobile which he LOVED! We were also able to go up to McCall Idaho which is about 45 minutes North of Cascade for some breakfast and some site seeing. Idaho is such a beautiful place, we didn't want to leave. Here are some pictures from our Christmas trip, sorry there are so many! I got a digital camera for Christmas woohoo!
(Thanks mom)!

Thank you so much for your e-mail and website. We love the blog and are now going to copy you and add one to our website!

I absolutely love what you wrote in the blog about Ryan. I could have written the exact same thing about Scott...but you said it so much better than I would have.

Your kids are sooo cute. We also love the Van Morrison. I'm a total boob, but your site brought tears to my eyes. It is all so touching. We are grateful you all are in our life and we look forward to a time when we can all get together, let the kids play, and catch up.
