We picked Lynn up and it started snowing immediately. We were scared to continue on to Emmett, but we had a feeling that we should just go for it. We were almost to Burley, Id when it started to be white out conditions. We could only see 2 feet in front of us because of the high winds and snow. I have never been so scared in my life. We then had to stop on the freeway and we didn't know why. So we were bumper to bumper for 3 hours while cars that were stuck were being pulled off the freeway with tow trucks. The highway patrol closed the highway behind us and in front of us, so we could literally go nowhere. We made the most of it and the kids were happy. We said about three prayers for saftey and they were all answered because we got to Emmett safely.
We had fun with the Gurney's and we were so happy that Grandpa Gurney was able to have Christmas Eve and Christmas morning off. Porter had fun watching his cousins play their Nintendo DS. Peyton had fun with his cousins too.
All of the kids woke up around 5:00 am. Christmas morning. So all of the presents were unwrapped by 7:00 am. Peyton loved the light saber that Aunt Shelly got Porter. The kids were so spoiled. Thanks to all who gave them gifts!
Both kids were thrilled with their stockings. I love Peyton's smile in this one.
Porter feel asleep while watching a movie on the computer.
Lynn, Porter, and Peyton Christmas morning
Porter was excited to get this Batman Lego pen and also Mr. Freeze.

Sorry we missed you guys, we left Emmett the day before Christmas Eve so the trip to WA would be much smoother if we did (weather). We never mailed your Christmas Card because we thought we would see you and then we didn't think to leave it for you at Lynn's parents. So maybe you'll get it in the mail eventually. Good times in Idaho.
I love their PJ's. Isaac has the same ones. It looks like you guys had a good Christmas and break from school. I'm glad you made it through the snow safely. I wish we had some snow here.
