*Had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving in Seattle (just for the record, it might have been the most delicious Turkey Day I have ever had). Spent the week/weekend with Aaron's rad family. We did TONS of talking and tons of eating and mega shopping. Aaron had his first Black Friday experience with Tyler (bro in law, who is a BF DIE HARD) where they were out from 10:00 pm Thanksgiving night until the next morning at 9:00! I was at home sleeping, thank goodness, but I think he had a great time (and got all of our Christmas shopping done).

*Driving to Boise for Christmas!!!! We went to Boise to stay with my sister Kristen and her family! They were nice enough to have us for one WHOLE week AND even spend Christmas day with them! It was a mad house (15 people in total), and my parents even came to join the festivities! My goodness, it was fun and SUPER relaxing!

*On Christmas Day, we ate the best dinner in history at Uncle Roger's house. It was beef tenderloin. Talk about MELT IN THE MOUTH! Along with twice baked potatoes, jello salad, and a plethera of pies! I think there was at LEAST 15 pies, AND who could forget the homemade ice cream? For the pie feed, I think there were about 80 people there to enjoy the delicious goodness! SO FUN!

LOVE the pics. So fun to have you all here. COME BACK!!!!
That was a fun post, Shan. We are glad you guys made it back OK with all the snow over the passes. We hit a pretty snowy stretch just south of Burley that was pretty white knuckle.
We had a great time partying with you. We will have to do it again.

Wow! That is a lot to pack into such a short time. Glad we could share a lot of it with you.
What fun!!
so fun to see you guys! I wish it was longer.
I wish I could have been there (pangs of jealousy). I guess I should have pushed harder to get us all up there. It looks and sounds like tons of fun! You guys are the cutest!
I'm so glad you guys had fun! I love the pictures. Miss you!
By the way I was going to give a shout out to Inigo Montoya... you go!
