I-D-A-H-O Idaho, Idaho, GO, GO, GO!!!!!!!

Ok - So Bruce's gift from Santa ended up being the highlight. Who knew?? It was so fun to go to the Humanitarian Bowl together. We bleed black and gold and have been suffering for a long time. Last night was so great. It was a fantastic night to be a Vandal. The only thing that could have made it better would have been to not have been playing on such an obscene field. The smurf turf is just UglY

Holidays!!

Fun month!! Christmas was great. We did not have one big fun event but more of a smattering of events that made the holidays great. We stayed in Boise and had a great time hanging out together. Grandpa and Grandma Purcell came to visit the week before Christmas to attend Braden's choir concert and do a Christmas celebration. The kids had a great experience doing donations for the homeless shelter. I love to give them experiences to help others with them having to do the sacrifice and work. We did a city Christmas light tour (guided by Braden). On Christmas Eve Grami, Grandpa, and Grandpa's friend came over. On Christmas morning Grandpa and Grami came back for present opening and then we went back to their home for Christmas dinner. We all love our presents from St. Nick. Oh and the nerf gun war had to be a highlight - inspired by Bruces gift. I definitely recieved the award for the best shelter. Braden's bunker was indestructable. We are blessed~

The First Day of Christmas

Only 12 more days until Christmas - Today - a partridge in a pear tree ;)
We have been busy and having a ton of fun. I am looking forward to the holidays and I am very excited for all of the new adventures our family has planned for the new year. Lets see. Fall was fun. We went to a few football games. We went to the U of I / BSU rivalry game (not much of a rivalry this year - nor last year to be honest). We still have the Humatarian Bowl to look forward to. Thanksgiving was a good time. Spending time with family and gorging on decadent fare. Simply can not ask for more ;). Misty took some great photos of our family that I am sending out in a card for Christmas. Bruce and I have been doing our best keeping up with a tween, a big kid, and a wild toddler. We have been able to relearn our Canadian history, our geometry, and soon we get to be able to relearn how to potty train. This week in Boise we have been graced with freezing weather but with the colder temps came SNoW!!! This means sledding in the neighborhood park :)
