Christmas 2013

     Grandparents, this one’s for you.

Bits of December

We were lucky enough to have my in-laws and Mom visit before Christmas. I had big photographic plans for all of it, but sometimes the camera is just too cumbersome. So here are a few bits from the past couple of weeks. Merry Christmas to all! xoxo

It looks like someone enjoyed a romantic evening here. So romantic they forgot to pick up their trash. Idaho is so beautiful. And these are just the foothills. We opted to do something new and fun this year- purchase a $10 tag and cut down our own tree from the forest. Climbing the hump at Camel’s Back Park is always a workout. Watching my Mom heave herself up through bursts of laughter was priceless. The Boise Botanical Garden lights don’t quite compare to New Orleans’ City Park but the crackling fire barrels, hot chocolate and snowball fights made up for it 🙂

I love being married.  It’s so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.  ~Rita Rudner

 It recently occurred to me while picking on my husband’s flaws, which I’m often inclined to do, that he too endures my faults. The difference is that he does so quietly. Behold, my husband: a man who withstands, provides for our family, likes to take it easy, is a kid at heart and rubs my feet on the daily.

Now mosey on over to Bee Chalmers for a lil’ slice of awesome.

Devyn’s little corner

my budding artist has been drawing and painting and creating on the floor for too long, so i finally made her a little art corner to call her own. and for being sick, i bought her a new craft. (some of you can expect a package soon :-D)
