We woke kind of early ready to unload the trailer. Brian decided to clear more of the driveway and Faye & I decided to go get some food. We took the Expedition (I had to drive because Faye didn’t really want to) and we drove to U-haul to return that silly dolly. It wasn’t too bad of a drive; we returned the trailer then decided to head to Burger King for breakfast. We went through the drive-thru, and THAT was a mistake. The car slid a little…FREAKED me out. All that and they weren’t even serving breakfast any more. L So, we didn’t get to eat. We headed to the grocery store to get some food for the rest of the week.

When we got back to the house our friend Joey & Shelli from California (who moved up here last spring) were here to help us unload the trailer. Brian finished clearing the driveways then we started unloading. Now, you need to understand something. The majority of the stuff in that trailer was mine. Most of the rest was office stuff. Both my bedroom and my office are in the basement. So, that meant EVERYTHING we unloaded had to go down stairs. OMG, I’ve never walked up and down a set of stairs so many times. It was, fun.

We took a break while we were unloading to catch our breaths and have some water. While were were taking our break we noticed a buck out front. Now, three days ago I would have said it was a deer, but I’m learning, it was a buck. It was also very exciting. There was a buck in our front yard. OK, actually it wasn’t OUR front yard but it was our neighbor’s yard. Either way, it was pretty cool.

So, we finished unloading the trailer and sat around the house. We made dinner and enjoyed our time with Joey & Shelli. Shelli, Faye, & I ran to Target for a short bit on the way back we noticed some fire trucks. Nothing big, we figured something had happened down the street. We got home and Brian had to go outside to get something. All of a sudden he came running (literally running) back into the house yelling “Santa’s outside” he grabbed Ally and went running back outside. In our bewildered state of confusion we all went to the front windows and sure enough SANTA was driving down the street. We grabbed cameras, camera phones, and video recorders and ran out front just in time to see the fire truck, and fire personnel, and SANTA going down the street. The pictures turned out pretty crappy but we saw Santa!

Welcome to Idaho, where Santa really does come to visit.
