Going home to Montana for Christmas gives me all the feels.

I am blessed to have such a wonderful, encouraging, fun-loving family! Don’t get me wrong– we’re not hallmark-card approved, as this picture of Sam holding some candy-cane enriched whiskey on the chairlift on Christmas day demonstrates:

But we get along pretty well (most of the time), and we do our best to get in plenty of quality family time!

Not only did my parents pick one of the best spots on earth to live, they also happened to get sleigh-driving neighbors, complete with an adorable puppy!

It doesn’t get much better than that.
