Visiting Boise

Chris and I visited his family in Boise at the end of April. Spring was just as beautiful as fall in Boise.

Chris's mom is moving her office into a beautiful historic building in downtown Boise

While visiting Chris's grandmother she gave us a beautifule glass carafe that I have always admired. She brought it back from Venice many years ago

We also spent the night before with family watching a movie at Jessica's place

Christmas 2009

Chris and I celebrated Christmas last Saturday and you can see my excitement over my unexpected gift--a photo scanner! I love old pictures so now you will be seeing more of them on this blog! My letterpress was my Christmas gift back in September so I was not expecting this at all.




"Christmas night" we went to dinner at the Biltmore in downtown Los Angeles

On Monday we drove to Chris's hometown to stay the night with friends on our way up to Idaho and beautiful Ben was our gracious host, along with his parents, Eddie and Jessica! Ben in a santa suit is about the cutest thing I've ever seen!

On our way to Idaho I planned our stops around Pilot truck stops since I am a Vols fan and love Pilot!! This is in Winnemucca, Nevada

Snow in the middle of nowhere in northern Nevada

We finally made it into Oregon where I noticed these interesting rock formations

Finally, Idaho! There is just a bit of snow here and it looks like we won't get any more before we leave.

Soon we are heading to Utah!

Christmas in Idaho

We spent 6 days in Idaho with Chris's family over Christmas this year. There was snow on the ground every day so one day we went sledding (or "tobogganing" as they call it here). So fun!

Here is Jessica (Chris's sister) having fun in the snow



A family picture minus Bud and Uncle Matt



Here is Sam, who I mentioned in my last post about Boise. Having so much fun in the snow!



Tia Missy braving the hill

Beautiful Finn having SO MUCH fun in the snow! He LOVED it.
