We came home from Texas a few days early so we could spend some of the holidays with Adam's family. We had a really good time. This was probably my first really "white" holiday that I can remember.
On New Years Eve we went to Albion to visit Adam's grand parents. It was good to spend time with them. I had only met them for a few minutes at our reception. Here we are at their house. I really liked this old tractor.
Here is the view down the street from their house. It is an adorable little town.
Erika and Grandma Bell
Adam and Grandpa Bell.When we got back to Boise we were both so tired that we decided not to stay up and ring in the new year. Lame, I know...but we were really tired!
We spent the last couple of days up in Placerville. For Christmas Adam gave me a new lens for my camera. It is supposed to take good night pictures, so we tried it out. Not bad!
It looks like a forest fire behind me...its not! It is the neighbors house with it's porch lights on. I guess the lens works! Thanks, Adam!
This is the most snow I've ever been in! There was about 3 feet or so. It was beautiful. 
We went on a walk with Vic and Deej one morning. It is so peaceful with all that snow everywhere.
I might have accidentally pushed Adam into the snow. Okay... it was no accident, but he pushed me in first...camera and all.
Aww!
It was the weirdest thing. On our way home, we saw a camel. Who knew they could live in the snow?
Not quite as romantic as spaghetti...
I had my first go at cross country skiing. I think I could really get into it! It took me a little while to get the hang of things.
Adam looked like an 80's rocker. I loved it! We stayed on the road for a while, and then made our own trail through the 3 feet of snow. I loved it...except for the falling down. Apparently, I don't have my balance just right on the little down hills. Luckily snow doesn't hurt!
We left Sunday morning to come back to Moscow. We went to church in an adorable little town called Garden Valley. Adam took this amazing shot. It really is beautiful there. We've decided that in the end we want to end up somewhere really warm or in Garden Valley!I'm a little sad to be done with the holidays. We had so much fun being with our families and friends. I hope everyone else had a safe and fun vacation as well! Happy New Year!

Yay an new post. Snow really is beautiful and I miss it sometimes! We're having the cold here yesterday and today... it's very winterlike as far as the temperature goes. Your pictures are great!
I love the tractor picture and the night lens shot of you. I love the green coat you're wearing in that shot as well! The last Garden Valley shot is amazing, and you guys are big dorks for the camel shot! :) That's why I like you!
Wow some great winter shots! I too love you next to the big tractor! Hope that you look at this blog entry often to remember the beauty of winter . . . when it doesn't feel or look so beautiful (as in your frozen window shots). . . trust me, spring will be so wonderful when it comes because you have endured winter! Love you guys . . . thanks for spending time with all the fam during the holidays!
Thanks for sharing all these fun pictures. We love you and hope 2010 brings peace and joy to the both of you.
