After Christmas we went up to Idaho to spend the week while Brent and Laura were out of school and work.  For Christmas Brent and I gave each other a little mini vacation up to West Yellowstone.  We stayed overnight at my parent's condo and cross country skied along the Madison River inside the park.  It was so beautiful.  I forgot my camera in the car the first day but the ice along the edge of the river was all bubbled up and there were big chunks of ice floating.  It was freezing!  But we were smart and brought some hot chocolate in a thermos along.

 After dinner at the Gusher restaurant we had a Psych marathon and then got to an entire night's sleep.  It's amazing how refreshed you feel after just a night away.  The kids were good and had fun playing with Grandma and the cousins while we were gone.  In fact when we got back Laura told me she didn't even miss me. 
Little stink.
