Christmas in Santa-point Idaho-ho-ho 2008- Part 1

Merry Christmas

This post is a little late but I haven't had the time to blog. We had a busy last couple weeks. We started in Sand-ta-point Idaho-ho-ho. We had a good time shopping, wrapping presents, cooking, and visiting.

Taking pictures with Grandma the day we arrived. She loves the grandbabies.

We came to Sandpoint with a cold. Both the kids came down with colds the first day we arrived. It was terrible. Boyd didn't sleep at all the whole time we were there. I would have to come down stairs every morninga between 3-6 AM and put him back to sleep in the swing. All I have to say is thank goodness for swings. Thanks Mom and Dad Noble for buying us one! There is definately one thing that I think is not fair and it is that kids have to have to get sick. I hate when my babies don't feel well. Maggie was a trooper. She even wanted to go with everyone to church. We sent her her with Grandpa, Deanna, Stephanie, Andrew and David. When they got home we took pictures with the kids Christmas outfits.

We made some of the Noble family Christmas time treats. Stephanie, Deanna, Trina and I made peanut butter balls, peanut butter rice crispy treats with chocolate on top, fudge,and fondant covered cherries dipped in chocolate. It was fun learning how to make new treats.

Mom Noble teaching us how to make fondant and how to roll cherries.

Jeremy was entertaining the kids while the women were in the kitchen. One of the highlights of Grandpa and Grandma Noble's house is "Billy Bass". I think we heard that DARN bass 1,000 times this Christmas. David could say some of the words and would sing the chorus. It was cute. Even if we had to hear it over and over again.
