New Year's Cousins

I am so bad at remembering to take pictures when I'm home! Fortunately Peter and Lyssa let me use their pictures to remember what a great NeW yEaRs we had this year. I really wanted to take Lyssa's family to Temple Square to see the lights, but it snowed really hard for 2-3 days and then the temperature dropped into the teens and stayed there. Not great outside weather. We did have fun just hanging around reading, talking and playing LOTS of games. The kids got a little stir crazy one day so we took them sledding just down the street from us.

Seth only went down the hill one time. It was so windy and cold.

Peter and Thomas giving up.

Katie and Maddie calling it quits!

Seth was really disappointed in himself. He "thought he would last longer than that." We told him he's actually the smartest of all the kids for coming in when it's that cold. That cheered him up a little.

Katie, Maddie, and Peter having a great time playing Scattergories. We also played Dicecapades, Moods, and another game I can't remember the name of. Lincoln, Donovan & Paige, Devon & Mary, and Ryan's whole family also spent a lot of time at the house, It was great to see everyone.

This was saying Goodbye, so sad. We were on our way to church (yay, 9:00 church) and the cousins were getting ready to leave. Tanner was already at the church setting up chairs.
