We planned to spend Christmas in Washington because Jared was on call but we found out at the last minute that he was free to leave. So we packed up in a few hours and arrived in Boise at about 8pm Christmas Eve. We were able to hear Eric perform some beautiful organ music and then the kids hung their stockings, set out cookies and milk for Santa, and went to bed.

A very happy little boy on Christmas morning. I think he was the most fun to watch this year because he is old enough to enjoy Christmas morning, but young enough that he didn't remember what to expect.
Nathan had fun playing cars and Legos with his boy cousins. It was a nice change for him after hanging out with his sisters all the time.

On our trip back we enjoyed ice skating with Kevin and Katie, a movie night at Eric's house, and Sunday dinner with the entire family followed by triva challenges. Jared also enjoyed visiting Bryan's shop and doing Saturday tinkering with his dad. What a great time.
