Where we've been

We have been in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho. My parents finished up their mission a few days before Christmas and we got there a day after they arrived from Salt Lake City. My oldest sister lives there too!

I had great hopes of taking a family picture while we were there, but it didn't happen. I am waiting for some more pictures from my niece, and I will post those when they come.

Here is Sophie at home in front of our tree. She has grown up so much in the last year. Not only in height, but personality as well.

The two gooses:)

Sophie loved stirring her hot chocolate with a candy cane. And we had to finish up the boy scout popcorn. Love the holidays, but glad all that mess is boxed up for another year.

This is my parents back yard, with Sophie sweeping.

The snow was really course and grainy.

The other window, looking at the upper garden:)

Sophie got play-dough for Christmas and it was her first time playing with it. We made a dinosaur, which turned into a dragon fly.

Sophie would not look at her Aunt (the whole trip) and wouldn't let Kendall take any pictures of her. So I am posting the only ones we got of her.

Toasted Cheesers for lunch after church. Yummy.

It is a 6 hour ride and Sophie is an easy traveler, but Gunner doesn't nap more than 30 minutes and gets cranky. On the leg home, I offered him a licorice. He liked it.

We had a great time and are proud of my parents for serving a mission. They had a great time and had some amazing experiences.
