Happy New Year!!!

Our holiday season was one party after another. We ate lots of food, played games, got presents, ate more food, played more games until it felt like one big continuous party! We had so much fun and loved spending time with our family! My parents were down in Mexico at the doctor over the holidays so we got to have my brother join us for Christmas which was a lot of fun and the boys loved having their uncle Scott around to play with.

Kade and Ty got star wars lego and loved building their ships and playing with them.

We loved having uncle Scott here for Christmas.

Zack got a fur real puppy. It is so cute - it barks and moves and growls. He plays with it and then starts to crawl away and it will bark and surprise him so he crawls back and hits it and plays with it again.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
We went down to my sister's in Smithfield for a few days to celebrate the New Year. The kids played games and went sledding and played in the snow.

On New Year's Eve we had rented a condo in Bear Lake. We went swimming, played games and ate more food! It was so much FUN and went way too fast.
Kade, my brother Scott and cousin Luke playing in the hot tub!

The cousins all together at the condo - Luke, Hannah, Braden, Kade, Zack and Ty

Playing board games as we eat more food waiting for the New Year to begin!
Blokus and Dominion were the fun new games we played the most.

Starting when we were little and fighting over who got to wear my dad's slippers we have all grown up loving slippers! I bought my boys slippers for Christmas in hopes of passing on the love of slippers to them. So far so good :) On our way over to Bear Lake my sister and I stopped and got all three of us new slippers to party in for New Year's! My brother had been skiing all day - that explains his outfit :) and we surprised him with the slippers when he got to the condo! It was the perfect way to ring in the new year!

I'm glad you guys had such a great time! Zack's reaction to the puppy cracks me up. Sounds like the kids had a blast!

Can you believe the price of Legos lately? Man, we're in the wrong industry:)

Scott looks so much like your dad and Jenny's daughter looks so much like you. How fun to spend time with family and what better way then playing Blokus (we love that game).

That dog you got Zack is fun! I bet it keeps him busy!
