Getting ready for Christmas...

I hope that everyone is ready for Christmas and ready to spend time with family...what a wonderful time to do that! We have been doing lots of Christmasy things over here in Bellevue and it helps that we have received lots of snow! I think we have at least two feet now...more on the way... A few weeks ago we went to the Christmas Parade in Hailey with Grandma and Grandpa Gough, my brother, sister-in-law and little nephew Caleb. It was pretty neat to see all the beautifully lit up floats going down main street. Then we all went to the Ellsworth Inn afterwards for some hot caramel apple cider and hot chocolate...yummy! It was a lot of fun and the girls had a wonderful time! Also we have had the twelve days of Christmas from mom and dad Barney to keep us all excited for Christmas morning(especially Ali and Myah). We have really enjoyed all the wonderful gifts that we have opened. They make our house feel more Christmasy and full of family. We especially enjoyed the letters in the mailbox...that was by far the best gift. So thank you Mom and Dad! Tonight is Christmas Eve and we will be making lots of goodies today. Tonight, the entire Gough family will be at our house to eat yummy food, play games, and open a few presents. We look forward to spending time with them. Even though we live so close to them...we are all so busy it is great to get together when we can. We are very, very excited to go to Grandma and Grandpa Barney's house for the new year! We can't wait to see everyone and to spend time with everyone! The girls are so excited to see their cousins, the hot tub(of course), but most of all their Grandma and Grandpa Barney! We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, and happiness in the new year! We will see you Barneys soon!
