Christmas 2015

Now that we're back west we're on our holiday rotation again. This year was technically Jeff's family's year for Christmas. Even though we gathered in Bear Lake over the summer so that no one would feel obligated to travel to Idaho Falls for Christmas, we couldn't resist. Here's a few of the highlights from our short but sweet Christmas with the Mannings:

1) Visited the Museum of Idaho to see the gingerbread house and nativity displays:

I really liked the fluffy little sheep in this nativity.

2) Painted cookies. You heard me right. Painted. As in with paintbrushes and icing.

3) Facetimed my family. No Christmas is complete without Allie getting a large pair of ginch from the Grinch. He outdid himself this year!

4) Gift exchange - Mindy made us these awesome advent calendar stockings! We love them!

Gag gift for Paul. It's the perfect size. Right?

5) Christmas Pull-Aparts!

A christmas morning tradition

6) Test drove some sweet cars:

We went to the subaru dealership to drive a Forrester and an Outback. Both were super nice! One day we might need a new car and we want to know our options : )

And then Jeff's dad took us to the BMW dealership. Ain't she a beauty? 

It was fun to test drive the cars in the snow. I'm ipmressed they had all of the cars cleaned off and spiffed up, it had just snowed 4 inches the night before!

7) Celebrate December Birthdays - two of our nieces have birthdays right after Christmas. We went to Garcias to celebrate! I love that place!

Birthday sombreros and fried ice cream for the girls. They weren't so sure about the singing haha

Merry Christmas!
