New Years Party

We sent 2010 out with a bang.  I put together a small little party for our little family to enjoy.  We played Xbox Kinect for a few hours.

We ate lots of yummy snacks including chocolate fondue and bubbly.

Of course we had to carry on the tradition of silly string. 

Brigham got hammered.

We discovered our new favorite game.  Make n' Break.  You have to build the blocks to match cards as you flip them over.  Each card has a point value based on how hard it is and you get different times on your turn.  It was addicting and all of us could play it.  Highly recommend this one.

We are looking forward to another good year.  2010 was good to us but we are ready to say goodbye and see what 2011 has in store for us. 

~Happy New Year!~

Christmas 2010

We survived another Christmas and this year did not disappoint.  The kids enjoyed 12 days of Christmas from my parents.  They made snowmen donuts, gloreos, Christmas shaped pancakes and all sorts of fun things.  Each day they were so excited to open a gift from Grandma and Grandpa.

On Christmas Eve we made Santa some sugar cookies.  Macy got in on all the action (notice the toothpicks spilled everywhere) and they had a great time.  The older the kids get the easier and more enjoyable these traditions are becoming.

On Christmas Eve we headed to the Grandma and Grandpa Ricks' for dinner, and exchanging gifts.  With ten small kids in one small living room it was pretty chaotic, thus one good picture of Ashtyn and Macy in their Christmas jammies.

Christmas morning was spent at our own house.  Here is Macy trying to enjoy a few of her presents at once.

Haylee got a camera and has made everyone pose for her. 

Macy got baby dolls and accessories, and can't decide if the stroller is for her or her babies.

Ashtyn got an ipod touch.  She begged for this and was warned it may be the only thing she will get.  I managed to get her a few things but now that she is older and more expensive...she will have to survive on less.

Brigham got Zibits (little robots) and a Zibit world for them to roam aroun in.

After enjoying the toys at home for awhile we went out to Grandma and Grandpa McGarry's to enjoy some more family time.  Here is Scott playing Mind Flex.

...and this is Grandpa resting his mind.

Merry Christmas!
