New Years Eve

After sledding and playing in the snow we warmed up at Dads house with pizza, breadsticks, cinnamon sticks, and shrimp dip. Getting all of us in one house is alot. We don't do it very often, so I have never realized how crazy it actaully it is! The kids were all so hyper, and running around crazy- I LOVE IT LIKE THAT! We were always told to settle down when we were kids, or to stop being so loud. One reason was that we were opening presents. The cousins pick names to switch Christams gifts with at my moms Christams party. We decided to wait and do it this year with Dustins kids. It was a week late, but worth it. They were so stoked. They kept asking what every child asks when there are presents involved, " Is it time yet?" I think everyone can remember Christmas time as a kid, dying to open a gift, but the adults always saying wait until we are done eating. It just about kills a kid. Then fianlly after the 100th time asking the adults say, " Okay. Go get everyone. We can open them." It was fun to see what everyone got. Cassie had Rylee. SHe gave her the cutest glow worm. I had one when I was younger. Its face lights up and it sings, its so cute! Rylee loved it... so did Sayla and Cassie. After the excitement of presents was over, things kind of settled down. That night we did foreworks, played some games, played the Wii, and headed home right before the New Year! It was a great New Years Eve!!

Ry and Cassie

Cassie wanted to be near Rylee-just not too close to her.

Opening presents

We tried to get a cousin picture. If you take a little bit of each picture you can get a good one of everyone. It was hard to get everyone to look at the sme time.

We did oldest to youngest:

Mallori, Rachel, Abby, Ben, Billy, Spencer, Sam, MaKenna, Ella, Kate, Cassie, Sayla, Rylee
