Idaho joins the Family Christmas blogging fun

Well, everyone has mentioned Justin & Alicia's visit. We thought to put some pictures up from today. They were coming up to Blackfoot, ID, to visit some of Justin's friends, and were kind to come the rest of the way to Rexburg (since we won't see them in New Mexico). It was fun for Alicia to meet Taylor and Nicole. Justin & Alicia seem a perfect match for each other too :) We are very happy for them.


Taylor wore her fun Christmas dress today. Nicole visited a friend this week that lent her some cute seasonal clothes (that her little girl has grown out of). This was one of them :) These pictures don't show the matching boots. She was being so happy today. We had some fun making her laugh and smile.



We got most of our Christmas shopping done yesterday. I thought that doing it before Thanksgiving would avoid the rush, but I have the feeling that others had the same idea that we did. It still wasn't as bad as it will be later. Now we just have to put our tree up and put some of those presents under it :)

We leave tomorrow (Monday) for Farmington after I work in the morning, so we still have a lot to do to get ready (i.e., pack, etc.). We'll stay in Provo with a good friend & his wife (Jed & Aleta Thacker).
