After 6 funfilled days in the California sunshine we moved on up I-15 back to the cold :) I was actually excited to get back to the cold because I started to swell down in the heat. haha We stayed 5 days in Cedar and we were able to relax and catch up with my family! We had a lot of fun hanging out. Marc and all the guys went shooting rabbits a couple of times and us girls watched the kids and a couple of movies. We played a few games and ate and ate! haha All of that was a lot of fun but what I was looking forward to most is my family's New Years Party! My parents over the past 6 years or so have had a wonderful New Years party. We have a great dinner prepared by none other than my dad... the master chef. ;) and then we play games. We played a fun charades game (it was funny to watch Marc play becuase he isn't much of a game guy ha) after all of that we get serious and play a heated game of BINGO! My parents have the legit bingo game with the ball roller and prizes if you win! We play this until a few minutes before the countdown. Let's just say I wasn't too lucky this year...actually Marc wasn't he didn't win once (either did Cub) Markus was the big winner this year winning 7 TIMES! Our family doesn't get competitive at all so that wasn't a problem ;) We had a blast!
Braxton got all dressed up for the big countdown!

Have to take a family picture...Braxton was looking at the ceiling fan the whole time. There was no use trying to get him to look in the picture. haha Oh and he is a way better trooper than I am. He wanted to countdown and stay up for another hour and a half after that. He must be like me and not want to miss out! ha
Here are a few pics from the trip...Braxton found the huge TV and actually watched if for a few minutes haha Doesn't he have great posture?! :)
He loved his cousins little table. It was his perfect size to stand up to.
Marc and I did a little experiment with Braxton and Rylee...Braxton didn't notice her for like 5 min and they were right next to each other! haha Marc looks good with two kids on his lap. That will be us here in 7 weeks!
When he finally realized she was there he touched her hand and was locked in to her.
We have been trying to get this picture for over a month now! Braxton likes to lay flat on the floor (especially our cement floor at our apartment) He decided to lay on the rug just long enough for us to get the picture. haha
It was such a fun 11 days! We got to be with both of our families and enjoy time away from real life. Thanks mom and dad for letting us stay and thanks for the fun party! :) We love you all! Now it is back to the grind. . .

So sad I missed you in cedar! We left the day after Christmas. Glad you had a fun holiday though! Can't wait to see that baby girl! And I've missed your blogging and seeing what you're up to. Love ya!
Our New Years party was fun and bingo was intense. Ya know, "we weren't playing for kicks and giggles". I love the pictures of Rylee and Braxton. She looks like a chunk, haha. I guess she doesn't ever go without:)
