We lounged around Dad's that morning.
Anita was putting away Christmas decor.
So the girls had a blast in her totes!
You give them all these Christmas gifts
but yet they just want to play in a box!! lol
Then Lynds, Kyrrigan and I headed to Idaho Falls to pick up the big kids.
It had warmed up and the snow was starting to get wet and melt a bit.
But it was perfect in the fact that they were finally able to build a snowman!!
After we left Luke and Mel's house we swung by Mom's house
to hang out for a bit and say our final good byes.
Unfortunately we were driving back to AZ later that night.
It's always hard leaving!
This is when you realize you live really far away from your family! :(
Finally we got on the road back to Blackfoot
and met the rest of the gang in at Homestead Farms for your
usual goodbye dinner.
Too bad my hands were too full with the little girls to get a picture!
But it was Dad, Anita, Grandma Norma and mine and Lynds' families.
Then randomly our Uncle Boyd, Aunt Nancy and some of their kids/grandkids
were eating at the same restaurant at the same time!
(that's what happens when you have like 2 restaurants in town! lol)
So it was fun to see them too for a bit!
After dinner we hurried back to Dad's house to finish packing
and loading the car for the long haul home.
We got on the road about 8pm
and the kiddos crashed out soon after.
It was a really smooth drive back to AZ!
I dozed in and out while Ryan chugged caffeine to stay awake all night!
12/30/17
We woke up as the sun was rising around Lake Pleasant..only 20 mins left!
(I swear Ryan was awake lol)
A beautiful Arizona sunrise through a dirty winter Idaho windshield!
As we approached I-17 freeway a bunch of hot air balloons were out.
Yep we're back in Phoenix! :)
We went straight to the car wash!!
Then picked up breakfast burritos from our local mexican restaurant.
Yep we really our back in Phoenix now! lol
Then it was home to unload and chase kids
while Ryan slept for the next 4 hours!
That long drive was rough on Eastlie's hair.
Now that's some bed head! haha
What an awesome Idaho Christmas trip!!
We surely cherish the memories we make there with family! :)
