It really is beginning to look like Christmas... and I love it!! I love seeing all the lights put on the streets of Salt Lake, Christmas trees in everyone’s apartment and the snow in the mountains (i wish it was down in the valley... but I guess I will just have to be patient) and there is just that feeling in the atmosphere that wonderful Christmas feeling! This truly is my favorite holiday by far.

This year i love that i got to kick off the Holiday season back in my home town (good old Bonners Ferry) with my family! Me and Madison drove the long 12 hours up and got there right in time for thanksgiving dinner, which was fantastic as always. It was a blast the house was full; I am pretty for sure every bed was taken. We played lots of card games and a few games of ticket to ride and stuffed ourselves with all the leftovers. It was just good to hang out with everyone; all my brothers and sisters are growing up so fast. It was also good to hang out with my mom and just spend time with her also. I have the most amazing parents! Also Madison became a true mountain man when he was joined my dad and uncles in one of my father’s favorite thing to do this time of year and spent all day up in the mountains getting firewood. And then to really start off the holiday season me and Madison went and cut down our very own (first!) Christmas tree. In all it was wonderful! So here are some pictures of our adventures in northern Idaho.
