Merry Christmas to all. We had a busy week full of family, fun, good food, good drink, good conversation, and snow! This was the second Christmas with our two little angles, and we had lots of fun making it memorable.

We started out the Holidays with a nice visit from Richard and Rachael Weaver. They braved the elements and ventured to Boise from Bozeman. The boys got to spend lots of time with their Bozeman Grandparents, which allowed mommy and daddy to do a little relaxing and finish up Christmas shopping. Our second visitor was Mat's Brother Lucas, who was spending part of his college break from the University of Montana with us. We have had great visit, and the boys really enjoy having their uncle around. Lucas will be in Boise through this weekend. Mat's brother Eric was also planning a very short visit earlier this week on his way up to Montana from Texas. Unfortunately, the weather caused the interstate to close down, and Eric was unable to make it. We're hoping to catch him on his way back down to Texas.

Christmas was very eventful. Mat and I assembled our first of many Santa gifts for the boys on Christmas eve, and the boys woke up to a large climbing fort complete with a ladder and slide on Christmas morning. Mat's mom and brother joined us Christmas morning to open gifts, and eat breakfast. The boys had lots of fun tearing into their presents. The wrapping paper and bows were a hit. Thank you to everyone for all of the wonderful gifts. We are so lucky to have such thoughtful families. We later took the boys on a trek through the snow to a near-by playground, and then concluded the day with a large Christmas dinner. We were full and exhausted by the end of the day, but wouldn't have changed a thing.

We hope the Holidays find everyone happy and healthy!
