Christmas in Boise (Daddy's house)

I think this was our first full day here. Boise had a lot of snow the week before and it hadn't melted yet.




Andy took Caleb skiing at Bogus Basin. That's three generations that have been skiing there. We talked to Caleb about going skiing in the summer and he has been talking about it ever since. Now Andy goes skiing or snowboarding and he and Caleb talk about Bogus Basin. It's pretty cute. It was a really cold day, but Caleb was a trooper and they still had a good time. Annika and I tagged along. I didn't want to miss seeing Caleb on his first run. :) I have a bunch of videos but since they take a while to load, I'll save them for a different post.

Opening stockings Christmas morning.

Caleb and beloved Tia Ale. Tio Dave and Tia Ale are WONDERFUL! I was so excited when I learned they were coming out for Christmas and the kids were going to be able to get to know them. Caleb and Annika's cousins got to spend lots of fun times with Dave and Ale when they lived in Texas last year and Caleb has been wanting to play with Tio Dave ever since he saw a picture of Cousin D boxing with Tio Dave on the cousins' blog. Ale is studying to be a nurse and I think she's going to be so good with her patients. She is also wonderful with children and Caleb followed her around.

I couldn't get this video to move.

Caleb got to open many of his presents from Daddy early. It was fun because it made each one more exciting. Christmas morning got crazy with toy after toy--fun, but lots of stuff.
