MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas! Are you? So, where is the snow? We are getting rain here in the Treasure Valley and I'd rather have the snow! The kids love it more too, I think. It just seems softer, don't you think? Makes you feel like giving (well, I love to give anyway, but the snow just makes it better).

We have been busy here in Nampa. We have our tree up and some presents under it already - although I'm not near to being done with my Christmas shopping. How 'bout you?

For those of you who have asked about our house, we have officially taken it off the market and are going to stay here for a couple years. We had remodeled the outside of this house with the intent of selling, but since the market is a little slow, we will hold on to it for a while and let it rack up equity. I have put a before picture and an after picture to show you the difference - I think it's so cool! And all our neighbors are loving us for fixing it up!


Left - before - front of house
(see how yellow and how long the grass is?)
Right - before of driveway/fence
(yep, it's purty!)



Left - the after picture of the front. The grass is so green, and no, I didn't photoshop that - it's real!!!
I can't find the driveway after picture, so I'll have to get back with you all on that, sorry.



Keep the Christmas cards coming - I have a whole wall with ya'll's cards taped up on it - it's very nice. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

I just got your message on my blog! It's great to hear from you. Your house is so cute and I can't believe how much your three kids have grown! Thanks for the Christmas card... glad you got ours. Take care and say hello to Jeff. I hear it was his b-day not too long ago.
