Bring on the New Year!

Just like Christmas, we had a small New Years Eve with the four of us-but had so much fun together. We started out by visiting the Church History Museum and Family Search Library. Tyson has really gotten into family history lately and he and Carter spent more time in the library than Taylee was willing, so she and I hung out outside. Both kids loved the I am a Child of God exhibit @ the Church History Museum. When we finished with both buildings, it still wasn't dark enough for lights, so we went to the Conference Center Theater for a broadway tunes singalong. Ty & I both love to sing, so this was a fun (and warm) way to pass the time...for us at least...the kids didn't think it was so cool. At least they had our Iphones to play games on :)
When the singalong ended, we walked around Temple Square to see the lights and then headed home for treats & shows.

and one of Kimball's namesakes

Yummy treats and drinks for the kids

and an AWESOME cheese platter for Ty & I...Harmons in Draper has such great selection...and Ty got to use his new cheese knives (thanks Mom & Dad!)

On New Years Day, Jamin/Shanda/Jared/Braden/Sadie came over for games, food, playing, whatever. They spent the night and we spent the next day celebrating, playing, and relaxing as well.

Tay and Sadie made themselves a picnic of chocolate covered raisins while the adults played games

There was a lot of lounging

and a little bit of sleeping

The holidays have been so relaxing and it's been fun to be just the four of us for the short while we have left and also to hang out as much as we can with Jamin & Shanda before they move. Our kids will definitely miss having cousins around.
