Our Christmas

In mid-December, we had the immense blessing of taking a trip to North Idaho to spend Christmas among dear friends! We stayed for a whole month and had a wonderful time! Here are a bushel of pictures from our sojourn:)

Here's the view of the lake near our rental home:

We took a trip to visit Kaitlin and Rebecca and their family in Montana-what gorgeous country!

Libby, Rebecca, Ellie, and Bodie the dog:) Out on the frozen lake!

One afternoon, we met a few friends for ice-skating! Ellie, me, Stacey, Sarah, Libby, and a friendly little girl we met:)

Ellie is skating backwards, not me:D

Me and Sarah, matchy matchy:)

Another afternoon, we drove out into the middle of nowhere and went 4-wheeling with our adopted Uncle. Libby drove one 4-wheeler with me clinging on behind, Uncle Bill drove the other with Ellie on the back.

And we went to the top! You could see so much up there!

Here are a few pictures from a lovely walk Libby and I took one morning:

Libby:) I love that girl!

You may not have the privilege of knowing Libby personally, but let me tell you, she's a gem! She has a beautiful heart for the Lord and a desire to be a godly woman, and we all love her joyous personality!

Little ol' me:)

Ellie and I in a very typical Ellie-and-I pose:D

One of our evening get-togethers with dear friends from church--we were playing a hilarious game of "Apples to Apples" :)

Carissa and Cassandra (definitely sisters:) puzzling over a card:

The Hale ladies sharing a laugh:

Libby celebrated her 20th birthday in Idaho!!! And she had a cake:)

That's all for now! I hope you enjoyed getting a taste of our December in North Idaho! To all our Western friends, we miss you!!
