Welcome Home David!



Aaron's brother David, returned home on New Years Eve at 9:00 pm. We made the trek over the pass on Tuesday so we could be there for the special occasion.


It was great to see David and I am sure he was a bit overwhelmed but we were glad we were there! He came home to 2 new neices and 2 new nephews, and only one niece couldn't be there.

Back at the house, while we waited for the big 12:00am, we played Bingo with the bingo queen. If you have played bingo and think it is no big deal, you haven't played with my mother-in-law, Carol. She rocks and makes bingo one of the most fun new years traditions.

Waiting for midnight.

Darren was the only one who didn't stay up until midnight. Amanda was so excited and I was very glad that everyone slept in the next day!
Doesn't she have tired eyes?

Fun At Grandma and Grandpa's

We brought a few of our Christmas toys to Grandpa's house and had lots of fun with family.
We all took turns and played nicely. Guitar Hero is a blast!

And, hopefully I am not overwhelming anyone with too many pictures, but with cute babies, you have to take pictures of them in the tub! I actually have a pretty cute video of them too but better get dishes done and laundry off my bed so I can crawl into it!
We had a great time seeing family but are happy to be back home and in our normal routine.

Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for putting up with us! (And Uncle Brandon, Aunt Heather, Uncle Carl, Aunt Devin, Ade, Brooks, Hayden and Ella!) We love you all.
