Christmas 2008

For Isla's first Christmas my Mom, Dad and Anna all made the trip to Boise. Ryan and I have decided that Isla is a good reason for us to finally stay put for Christmas and have the grandparents come and visit us! My Mom and Anna were able to come a week before Christmas and hang out with Isla. My Dad luckily made it out of Bellingham on Christmas Eve so he could be with us Christmas morning. We had nightmares that he wouldn't be able to get out due to the snowy weather. We were so happy that we were able to be with each other on Christmas day and really happy that my Dad brought his Wii. The day after Christmas we went up to Sun Valley to visit more family. Isla was finally able to meet her great Grandaddy, great aunt Margot, great uncle David, and cousins Erica, Laura and Drew. It was a very quick trip, but very fun. Lots of good food and wine was had by all! Merry Christmas to everyone.

My Mom, Anna and I thought it would be fun to go for a walk on Christmas Eve because it was snowing. It turned out to actually be raining so it wasn't as fun as we originally thought!:

Christmas tree with all of the gifts - GrandmaGiGi went a little overboard!
