Christmas in Spokane

Knox & Isla are at the perfect age for Christmas to be downright magical.  We started early this year with decorations, baking cookies, an advent ornament tree, christmas movies and christmas lights.  By the time the week of Christmas rolled around Knox & Isla were in a frenzy over baby Jesus' birthday and Santa coming.

We drove to Spokane on Sunday to spend the week with Kyle's family.  The cousins had a blast playing together and getting ready for the big day.  As part of our annual tradition we all went to a Christmas Eve service and then out to dinner.

at least we're all looking at the camera!
On Christmas day we managed to space all the presents out throughout the day and the kids had fun doing lots of opening and playing with their new toys.  We also made a birthday cake and sang Happy Birthday to Jesus. It was a great day and I tried to really enjoy every moment of it. I know the older they get the less magical it will become.

We stayed for a week and then headed back to Boise. The trip home was a little dicey with a lot of snow over 'Deadman Pass'. The name itself made me nervous but we made it home safe and sound!
