Happy New Year!!

I know, it's a little late. But that seems to be my life these days. I hope everyone is having a great start to the New Year. We had a crazy week last week. My parents arrived on Tuesday afternoon to spend New Year's Eve with us. We also had a visit from Erik's oldest sister, Tara, and her family. Shelby was able to stay with us for 3 nights and Aubri and Kielee were also able to spend a night with us. They all got along and there was not one fight among them. On New Year's Eve, Erik and I along with my parents, Ashli, Spencer, Shelby & Courtney (Ashli's best friend) spent the night playing games and eating. We ate taco appetizer dip, chocolate fondue, crackers & cheese, etc. It was so yummy. New Year's Day, we lounged around and then took Ashli, Spencer & Shelby bowling. Friday night, we were able to go out to dinner at Famous Dave's BBQ with Kevin, Tara, Tracy & Kris. We left all 9 kids here at our house and it was great. After we got back to our house, Tara taught Tracy and I how to make Toffee and then we all played games. Saturday afternoon, everyone came over again to hang out, let the kids play and to play games again because we had so much fun doing it on Friday night. Then, on Saturday night we had Erik's bishopric over for a belated Christmas dinner(there were 12 of us). We had Hawaiian Haystacks and everything turned out great. We had a good week and and an even better time with the Kinghorn's and Carrigan's. We were sad to see the Kinghorn's leave, but we enjoyed our time spent with them.

P.S. I am still working on getting some pictures posted, so there may be a lot to look at once I get them on here for the last 2 weeks.
