Christmas 2015

Christmas this year was absolutely nuts.  We went to Idaho before Christmas in order to be there for the Ball family baby blessing and also so that we could spend the week between Christmas and New Year's finishing the house and then moving in.  Brandan drove back and forth from Idaho to Mountain View meeting contractors and finishing projects in several snow storms and wind storms and you name it. By the time we pulled into the new house on Christmas Eve in time to meet the counter top contractor we were all beat.

Tag took a nap in on a patch of carpet in the new house and Sis crashed (literally) in the back seat of the van while the rest of us played in the snow.

While some of us dug tunnels in the snow bank that is suppose to be our driveway, Sport used the snow to climb over the barb wire fence and make a visit to the cows.

Tunnels! We thought this was a crazy amount of snow.  Poor naive shmucks.  Over the next month this snow bank will double in size and not come close to melting until mid-March. 

Traditional Christmas Eve candlelight pizza.

The stockings were hung...

Dash took the camera and snapped a picture of Brand and I on Christmas Eve.  This is pretty much exactly how we felt.

Christmas morning!

Oh the joy!

Santa came through!

Toothbrush and new undies in Sissy's stocking.

Tag found a treat in his stocking.

Boise State football helmet hats.

A Christmas disaster!

Sport asked Santa for a Spiderman suit that shot real webs so he could swing from place to place.  Hmm.  Santa came close.  He got a Spiderman glove that shot pink silly string.  Everywhere.  Including the ceiling of the house we were trying to clean out so we could move.  Way to go , Santa.
