This is how we PARTY! We all meet over at the kitchen at 10:30 PM, eat food, play games, and kick off midnight with some fireworks and wake all the other people that are sleeping.
Cecelia, there in the background behind the counter provides the sparkling cider, that we use to toast in the new year.
Around 7:30 that night I was seriously wondering if I'd make it to the late night party...but, I persevered by watching Lifetime movies to keep myself awake.
Here are some of my family members playing Boggle....and Ben is the world champ at that game. Seriously.
Even my 92 yr old grandpa makes it out to the festivities....he's looking rather
mountainman-
ish these days.
Aidan was enjoying himself too, of course, people and food. His two favorite things.
Here are some of the goodies.
Mmmm, mmmm, pretzels and cheese. I'm pretty sure I gained 10lbs last night.
Hope everyone had a good time last night and Happy New Year to everyone!
It was another warm day today so Aidan suckered Aunt Tara into taking him outside to play.
He was thrilled with the riding mower and all of it's knobs and gadgets.
Here he is practicing to be a model.
Christian came by on his MC.
Aidan sure is going to be sad when we have to go back to SLC,
Where it's going to be colder and snowing....
and he won't have all these family members doting on him.

But Aidan still insisted that we go outside.
So we went to visit Cash, the horse. 
Cash is new to this pen and he's still trying to figure everything out.
Even the kitty came over to see what was going on.
It's a phenomenon.
Although it makes one long for Spring already!
He's been pretty busy lately...
