Fank you all!

What a great Christmas we had this year! We were spoiled by having both my mom in town as well as Levi's mom. We were completely overwhelmed with great gifts and every minute that we got to spend with family was so much fun.
Some of my favorite moments:
♥ Opening the big box from Levi which contained a big garden gnome. Needless to say I was stoked! I love garden gnomes and I've been wanting a bigger one for the yard. Also, he got me a Ward Hooper print of the Sawtooth Mountains. Ward Hooper is an artist that does retro-style paintings of famous Idaho and Boise landmarks. I'm so excited about my print! Here's his website. I love the Boise prints. Thanks Levi!
♥ Going to The Ram with Maria, Levi and Avery. Their steak is to DIE for. Too bad Maria wasn't feeling well and couldn't enjoy the food :(
♥ My wonderful mom filling Levi and my christmas stockings. Nobody stuffs a stocking like my mom! I got the traditional peanuts, Reeses's minatures and a chocolate orange. You're the best mom!
♥ Spending Christmas Eve night with my fabulous in-laws at my F-I-L's house. We opened all our gifts to each other that night and Levi and I made out like bandits.
♥ Watching Mamma Mia with my mom. I didn't realize I know every lyric to every Abba song thanks to my mom blasting their music whenever we did Saturday morning cleaning while I was growing up.
♥ Hanging out at Heather's house and watching the kids go ga-ga over all their great gifts. Their kids are so grateful and enjoyed all their presents. Heather's house always provides such a warm, relaxing feeling. I love going over there, especially at the holidays.

Well, hopefully I can get my camera working again and I can take pictures of the garden gnome and other fun things. I love you all and can't wait for next Christmas (although, if I could avoid working during that time I will!)

Being with you was AWESOME! I cried half the way home. I miss the Colbys and Gates (including extended family) so much! Thanks for spoiling me! Get feeling better too. (:
