Christmas in Idaho

Well, it's been a while since I've written! Aaron and abandoned all responsibility and cares and traveled to Idaho to spend 2 1/2 weeks with our families.

I intentionally forgot my camera ;) but my mom caught some fun pictures from the past few week so you can get a taste of our holiday break.

We spent the first few days in a condo in McCall with my family. We attempted to go sledding, but my brothers and husband picked a mountain side with boulders and tree trunks. Fortunately, they dodged all the obstacles and then lulled me into a false sense of security. I gave into peer pressure and hopped on the sled. Halfway down the hill I hit a stick that sent me right in the direction of the large boulder. I tried to bail off the sled before I hit it, but I was unsuccessful. I now have an orange-sized bruise on my right knee.
Luckily it was just my knee and not my belly or head.

The perfect sledding hill...

Snapped right before I hit the seemingly insignificant branch

After the sledding catastrophe, I stuck to low-impact activities, like snowshoeing (highly recommend!) and relaxing at a natural hot spring (we made sure it was under 100 degrees).

After more than a year, my little brother is still in denial that I am a married woman

McCall was absolutely gorgeous, a true "winter wonderland," as quote by my 9-year old nephew.

After spending a week in McCall, we spent the next week in Fruitland with Aaron's family. It was great to visit with Aaron's siblings and get to know them better :)

Aaron's sister Ashley is expecting a baby on July 8th, 6 days after ours is due! We're really excited that our little one will have a cousin so close in age.

As for other news, I am planning on giving the blog a makeover soon, but since I'm still battling morning sickness it may not be for a month or two. I'm hoping my hormones will settle down soon because school starts next Monday...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
