Oh how Gavin loves all the cupboards and drawers. When not unloading the drawers, he is sure to be found pushing the box of Cascade around or searching out another cupboard to empty.

Sledding and Hot Springs in Garden Valley
We had a fun day with our friends, the Thompsons, in Garden Valley sledding at Terrace Lakes. It was a VERY CHILLY day but we had fun all bundled up. Mom and Gavin and Ava hung out in the warming hut and watched Sam and Mattias and Konrad while they continued to sled
Not bad scenery at all!
The best part of the day was after sledding and a picnic lunch in the warming hut, we changed into our swimsuits and swam in the heated warm springs pool. It was the perfect temperature and a nice reward after being out in the cold. Gavin was shrieking he was loving the water so much!
A fun winter day!

Christmas 2015
Christmas Eve
On Christmas Eve, we went to church and then came home for an easy (fun) dinner. The kids wanted to Make-Their-Own-Pizza so we had Papa Murphy Mini Murphs for them. After dinner, the kids put their pajamas on and we drove around and looked at Christmas lights, which was a big hit.
Stockings Christmas Morning
The fox and wolf hats were a big hit!
The biggest challenge was keeping Gavin out of their Stocking Treasures - he was determined to take over all of their stuff! To fix that, Sam and Ava got their shopping carts and kept all their goodies in there for safe-keeping.
A big Thank you hug from Sam-Man
After Stockings was breakfast - I had offered to make ANYTHING for breakfast and asked everyone earlier in the week on what they wanted..... Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal... at least it was easy!
After breakfast was opening presents... lots of excitement!
Gavin's first Christmas and he was into it and trying to open presents. I think he loved all the excitement and activity around him and new and fun things to check out.
Ava LOVING all her princess dresses from Mema & Papa!
In the afternoon, we ventured to Sunset Park to get some fresh air - it was pretty cold so we didn't last too long but it was fun to get out in the snow!
Sam and Ava got a ride home from mom!
We had a delicious dinner of ribs, rolls and loaded potatoes after being outside. We also played and set up and used EVERY single game, puzzle, activity, toy, craft, etc... that we had opened or gotten in a stocking that day so it was action-packed throughout.
What an awesome day to celebrate with our little family.
The day after Christmas was at Grandma and Papa's house in Kuna. The kids always love playing with their cousins.
Fun Outside
Gavin looking Sooooo Handsome on his first Christmas!
