Is it true? Debbie and Shawn Martin, together and in front of us in Idaho?! What fun! We hadn't seen each other's families for 2 1/2 years. Plus 2 deployments for Shawn. The Martins had traveled from North Carolina and us from Minnesota. It was so awesome to show our children that we can still keep friends that we make along our way. What a treasure!
Smitty's was one place the Martins hadn't tried in Idaho. We were just thrilled to see each other again! Alivia gave Brooke her long in making project of the red,white and blue hand knitted scarve. 
Jonathan and the children up to form,could hardly contain themselves
Caroline got a hold of the camera! We opened presents (yummy tea from the Martins and we gave them a silly CD)and talked up a storm.
The kids did pretty good at behaving themsleves considering their excitement! While the grownups caught up. Oh yeah, and we managed to eat some breakfast!
Jake didn't remember Caroline and then there she was ... another little kid around his age!
Yeah more time together!We decided to go to the Idaho Museum and run around talking there! Debbie and Taryn strike a pose in our puffy winter coats.
Some many fun Christmas things to check out. Our favorite was the gingerbread exhibit.
Getting resourceful us girls had to break away and talk "girl" talk... in the bathroom of course! We came out 15 minutes later. Greg was like, "I thought you were just going to the bathroom?" Ha!Girls just wanna have fun!
Reminds me of the sticky pics in Jusco!
Japanese Nativity! In Okinawa we could buy this set for $250. go ahead, buy it!~
The plague!
Thank God I'm a country boy!... or at least born in Texas!
Cute Brooke!
Kyle and Jonathan were there somewhere just too fast and all over the place for us to catch them on camera. I did hear Jonathan sing for Sister Martin his "Best Friend" song. "Best friends should be together, that's how it ought to be, so I'll pretend you're a part of me and I'm part of you!"
