Christmas!

This year we went up to Idaho for Christmas. It was wonderful. The weather was a perfect wintery wonderland without being scary. We caroled to an old lady who risked her life to answer the door for us, caroled to the girl at the drive-thru window at dairy queen (who didn't think we were very funny), went swimming at an indoor pool, made lindsey come to New Moon with me, went to the temple, saw a really fun cowboy show/sleigh ride/dinner, had an adorable nativity with Hallie, Tate, and Sydney, had a nice, relaxing Christmas, and Adam even got to watch a little Star Wars on Christmas day. Two days before Christmas, Lindsey had the awesome idea to get some family pictures taken (none of us are planning on having any more children anytime in the too near future, no one is pregnant... so it was good timing). She called up her friend who had just moved into the area and was a photographer, and she agreed to show up the next day, on Christmas Eve even! So we got all our outfits planned in just one day, and got everyone ready for the shoot. I thought the pictures turned out FABULOUS.
