Christmas Morning!

Santa had to be up and early to our house! The kids got us up at 6 am and dove on the presents.  Grandma and Grampa Newman had never seen kids so excited.  Their own kids didn't have much reaction when they were kids... There was much rejoicing and happiness to be had.

Garden Lights


There are a few homes in Twin Falls that go all out and put thousands of lights up all over. One house in particular has a 5 acre garden and they put lights up almost in every tree and bush. It's quite amazing and feels almost sacred entering the garden and the haze of colored lights everywhere. We all love going to it every year. 





 

Ice Skating


Grandma Newman found a bunch of ice skates at the DI, so we decided to give them a try.  There is no ice rink in Twin Falls, but every winter, they set up a white hard plastic floor where one can simulate ice skating to a degree.  While it's hard to get above 1 mph, it was still a success.  The kids had a blast and no one biffed it too hard, even Grandma. 
















 

Charlie Brown PJ's!

Grandpa and Grandma Hodges bought us all matching pj's this Christmas!
