The Allen's

Well, we made it home. We left Downey last Tuesday and drove all day long. We finally got home at about 4:30, emptied the truck, and collapsed on the couch. Driving really makes you tired. I ended up not having to work the rest of the week, and so I was in charge of taking Christmas down. Our tree was on the verge of death, and I wanted to get it out before I had needles all over. I didn't even cry as I took the tree down! I was ready to have my house back to normal. We also came home with an organ and so I had to find somewhere to put that. I was able to get the house clean and enjoy the holiday. Thursday night we braved the weather and went to Kamiah. We played games at our friends house until about 2:30 and then we decided to drive home. We got home at about 3:30 and fell right asleep. I didn't wake up until noon! The joys of not having kids. I also must have been worn out because all I did Friday was sleep. Saturday I was finally back to my old self.

It has been raining and raining. The roads are a mess, my car is filthy, our pond is filling up, and the horses are all wet! It looks like there is another pond in front of our real pond because the ground is frozen and so the water is not soaking in. It's just sitting on top of the ice.

Everybody has been talking about their Resolutions and I don't have too many. My parents got us a Wii Fit Plus for Christmas and I have been using that everyday. Amber and I have been calling each other every day to make sure that we are getting our exercise in. It's been quite fun.

This morning was a beautiful morning and I just had to take some pictures.

The horses always stand on this side of the shed. It's nice because then we can see them out our windows!

I love when there is frost all over. It makes the plants look so pretty.

I think it is so pretty when the frost sticks like this.
