Christmas in Ida-Snow

Hello from Snowy Idaho!!

We are in Idaho for Christmas and having a wonderful time. It seems like it hasn't stopped snowing since we got here on Christmas day. The snow is piled 14 to 16 inches deep right now. Today the wind has started to blow it around and the drifts are several feet deep.

We are here with all the Stacey clan. Scot and Nancy are here in Idaho Falls from Twin Falls Idaho with their 3 kids. I can't believe how big they are getting. Brian and Jess came up from California with their 4 kids. Their girls are so cute and Colby is very funny. Brett and Sherri are also here with Jacob and Gavin. We spend most of our time at Grandma and Grampa Staceys house. We do spend a lot of time at Brett and Sherri though because they just finished their basement and it has added a ton of play room for the kids. They don't have any furniture down their yet so it is just one big open room for them to run and play.

The kids have been playing in the snow and are loving it. We are so very glad that they all get along so well. They are enjoying their time together since they don't all see each other that much. We are also enjoying each others company. It is rare that the whole family gets together so we have fun with the time that we have.

Thanksgiving in Clearfield

We spent an amazing Thanksgiving surrounded by our family. Uncle Rich flew in from Vermont. He spent a week and a half with us. Barbra, Bryce and Maren came up from American Fork and spent a couple of nights in Grandma and Grandpas trailer. We ate Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma and Grampas. Of course we ate too much food and could not do much else but sit around and visit. It was a great opportunity to catch up with everybody since it seems like it is so hard to do that these days. Logan, Joshua, Jonathan, Bryce and Maren played together and had a great time.

Grampa and James ventured out on Black Friday at 4:30am to find some great deals, everyone thought we were absolutly CRAZY. They got done shopping by 6am and were back in bed before anyone else was awake!

We had a great time visiting and playing with all the family and especially enjoy the time we can spend together.
