One thing I missed blogging about was our first Idaho winter. WE LOVE IT!!! It was verrrry cold in late November (-5 degrees one morning!!!) but now it is mostly in the mid 30s. It's plenty wintry, but it feels very manageable after that cold snap.  We've had a couple of snows and there's still snow around in patches.  That's pretty cool. I've never seen snow last for more than a few days before. I hope we get another big big snow storm.  Even if we don't, it's pretty neat to be able to drive a short distance up to the ski hill where there's lots of snow and lots of ways to play in it.

Here we are on our way to Christmas eve mass

Santa came!

This is a group selfie from a sledding trip.

Here Amy is holding an icicle she found. She is keeping it in the freezer inside. Is it fair to use your kid's icicle to make drinkies?

Christmas tree! In Snow!!. Yeah, these pictures are out of order.

This was a super cold night out looking at the lights at the Botanical Gardens with Jocelyn and Jacobi. It was an incredible display.

Amy's favorite snow activity is to make and follow footprints. Here, she's tracking cat prints. Probably a vicious snow tiger...or Orbit.

Snowy house with Christmas lights. Dan in the doorway.

Skiing down the street. I mean, come on!
