First off Merry Christmas to all! Christmas in Boise this year was white (as it should always be) and joyous. Kris and I ventured over to Nampa for a little Christmas celebration with the family. We kicked things off Christmas eve at Grandpa Ford’s house. We took in some fine looking decorations and sat and had a very nice visit with Grandpa. John and Tiffany joined us and we got in some of our families traditional “stand-in-front-of-the-Christmas-tree” photos.Next, we maneuvered our way over to mom and dad’s on slick and snowy roads. Grandma, Uncle Greg and Tiffany’s parents, Ted and KanDee, joined us. Ted and KanDee drove all the way up from “snowy” Las Vegas to take in some Ford Family Fun.
This year we decided to add an additional element of fun and conduct an ornament exchange. This was exciting. There were some tremendously good ornaments brought to the table which resulted in a few steals and a few trades. I think everyone ended up with something good…especially Uncle Greg and is pretty little tea cup ornament. All I know is I hope we 
get to do this again next year and someone can find some more of the Fisherman Santa Clauses…they were a hit! (Uhm not to mention the balls I loved that Kris made me trade so he could get what he wanted).
As the evening came to a close and we headed out to get in the car we found it snowing like crazy. We buckled in and with seat warmers on we were off on our slow treck home...30 mph all the way. But we made it! Heather met up with us at our house and after opening a few gifts we found Santa had brought Kris the band version or Guitar Hero (I know there is a proper term for the game but I can't remember). Anyway we
busted out the new guitar, the drums and the mic (the best part of all) and proceeded to reign in the early hours of Christmas day to rock music.

Christmas day was nice and relaxing. By afternoon we were back in the car, heading over to Granny and Gramp's. The commute wasn't nearly as slow as the night before and we enjoyed and nice Christmas visit with the both of them...complete with (some) of 
our traditional Christmas goodies!
And for those of you who were suppose to be with us this year we missed you very much but know we will see you in the very near future.
We give thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ and we are thankful to celebrate His birth, His presence, His grace and our salvation in Him.
