White Christmas:)



This Christmas was different in a lot of ways and yet completely wonderful:) Every year up until this year my family spends Christmas in California, in the same exact home where my sister and I grew up in. This year we decided to change it up a bit and I flew to Idaho where we celebrated our Christmas together. My family just moved into their amazing/beautiful home where we had our first white Christmas:) Some close friends also joined us which made our Christmas even more enjoyable. At first I was a little hesitant on having Christmas somewhere other then our previous home in California but soon realized that home is where family and friends are. So crazy to think that I consider Santa Barbara home and Idaho as well. We spent the days sledding, drinking coffee (yay), gathered around the fire, reading, playing with the dogs, and just relaxing. It was exactly what I needed.

Here are a few pictures of my parents home in Idaho. Some of the snow had melted already but at least you get a little bit of an idea. Their home is not completely finished but definitely on it's way:) The scenery is amazing and will take your breath away.

Right now I'm in the Boise airport waiting to board my flight to Reno where my friend Brian will be picking me up. We then head directly to Tahoe where we'll be bringing in the New Year with some friends. I'm excited.

I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas, and I hope your New Years is just as amazing!

First of all, who is Brian??????? Do you have something to share with the whole class???? hmmm???

Anyway, So glad to see you had a good (not to mention white) Christmas. Being in Chi-Town my whole life I wouldn't know what to do with myself if it wasn't cold with maybe some snow (more like sludge!) and lots of ice which makes for bad traffic that no one slows down for until they end up in a ditch! You wouldn't believe the amount of people who still go 85mph on the highway in a blizzard! It's almost funny except that someone has to pay for all of it... Insurance companies must make a fortune out here. LOL. Nice to read about your life... Be safe as you bring in the New Year!
