2019 Here we come!

We started off the new year with a beautiful hike in the Boise foothills on New Year's day.

Our friend and neighbor, Patricia, joined us as we hiked the Pole Cat trail up above Boise.

It was cold, but not much snow on the ground.

 There was lots of much needed sunshine.

 We spent the rest of New Year's day watching football games and playing games with 

Devin and Sarah and family.

I made homemade pizza and other finger foods for our New Year's party.

Whitney didn't have to leave to go back to Utah

 until the day after New Year's, so we went to the nail salon

and got a pedicure.

I love spending time with this girl!

 The weekend after New Year's, Tom and I headed back up to the hills

for a snowshoe adventure.

We drove up towards Lowman and stopped along the Deadwood River 

and had a beautiful hike along the river.

 Of course it included a delicious picnic!

 Tom found this homemade cross close to where we ate our picnic.

We are assuming a family pet was buried there.

We are getting dang good at taking selfies ;)
