Winter Wonderland

We have had a wonderful Christmas. It started the Friday before Christmas with the Rigby Family party. Jays two older brothers weren't in town but the rest of us had a great time. Jay's parents spoiled us. We have a lot of new games and we can't wait to play them.

On Saturday morning we made the drive to Idaho Falls. We had the Croft family Christmas party on Sunday night and had some delicious Prime Rib. I am loving this new tradition! We had a good time watching our niece, Anilyn, open her presents.

We had planned on going to Salt Lake to see Jay's brothers on Monday but there was a snowstorm and we decided we better stay in Idaho Falls. On Tuesday we went to Sun Valley to spend Christmas. on Christmas Eve we went to Sun Valley Lodge to watch the ice skaters and listen to the Carolers. We also got to see the skiiers come down the mountain carrying torches. It looked like lava coming down the mountain. Then there were fireworks. I love Christmas Eve! Grandpa read the Night Before Christmas and peeled oranges for us.

We woke up on Christmas morning to TWO FEET of new snow. It was awesome. Jay and my little brother Justin decided they wanted to make a snow fort. They thought the snow off the driveway would be perfect. We've enjoyed sledding, swimming, playing games and relaxing during our stay in Sun Valley. It is such a magical town.

We'll be heading back to Idaho Falls tomorrow. Jay and my brothers are already planning out the next snow fort. I think I married a teenage boy. Oh well.

We hope you all had a great Christmas too!

Hi. I will admit to being a blog stalker...mainly because I feel bad reading people's blogs who I haven't invited to read ours, which used to be private but is no longer....anyway it's always fun to see what you've been up to.
