I just thought that you all should know that it is currently -31 degrees right now and with the wind chill it is a balmy -43. Can I get a WHOOP WHOOP for R-E-G-I-N-A!!!!

Christmas in Boise

Here's the first loaf of bread made with my new breadmachine!

Me and my sister, Tausha, in my mom's kitchen. The shirt I'm wearing in the picture, I got for Christmas. It's my first "pregnant belly" shirt. Woo hoo!

That's right, I'm the one on the BOTTOM ROW sporting the green hat. Notice that my grandpa is also on the bottom, what a tough guy!


No explanation needed. HA!

Here's an update on what we did for our Christmas holiday.

On the way to Boise, we slid off the highway! Don't worry, we're fine and there was no damage to the car but it sure did give us a scare. We were going about 60 mph when we hit a patch of snow. Jon tried to change lanes but couldn't control the car so we unded up spinning across the highway and finally stopping in a large ditch of soft snow. Once we got back on to the road we ended up seeing a total of 13 accidents in a 50 mile strech, the roads were really bad!

We finally got to my dad's house safely. For the next couple of days we soaked in the hot tub, went skiing (don't worry, I sat out), cooked yummy meals, and fixed our car (my dad and Jon did, that is).

Christmas day, we packed our bags and drove 30 minutes to my mom's house. We had a large family Christmas dinner and opened gifts. The last present opened was a Wii for my cousins and immediately we hooked it up and had even my grandparents playing. We spent the last couple of days walking downtown, cooking yummy meals, and tubing (don't worry, I did NOT sit out for that).
