New Years with the Palmers!

This year we were invited to spend New Years Eve with our friends the Palmers. 
When we came into town, we decided to stop by and visit Ollie and leave hime a little christmas gift. 
Stacy did such a nice job of making his grave festive for the Christmas season. 
 After we went by the grave yard, we went to the Palmers. The kids were instantly off playing and having fun. Ayla became the queen of costumes that night. Here she is as the HULK.
 Then trying to be spiderman!
 Here is Garran not trying to be a super hero but being very nice about having to wear this while playing a game. 
 He is such a good sport!
 If only this was a video. Garran had to say a love poem to ed..he got extra points if Ed teared up!!
 Of course I did Stacy's nails while I was there. How cute are these. Jamberry... I am telling you.. It's super cute!!
 Briea passed out before midnight..
so did finn!



Stacy loved the idea of the balloon drop so we re-created it at their house too.
Here are all the kids...minus two who feel asleep waiting for the coundown. I could not believe so many of them made it to midnight! And for the most part everyone got a long so well. There were a few accidents, but they were really accidents and the rest of the time they were happy as little clams to be playing together. 
As it closer to the countdown, Stacy started making this yummy punch with Ginger Ale and orange juice. It was yummy!
Here I am with my honey...Ringing in the New Year!! 
 Here is a shot of the ladies together!!
 Jamie, Eden, Stacy and Meg
 Ed and his Brother Danny
 Ed, Garran, and Danny! They are funny together. 
 Briea did not make it to midnight and Ayla made it to about 12:02. They were so funny passed out on the couch.
The next day we met Ed and Stacy at the theater to see "The Hobbit". 
It was really good. I am excited to see the next one that comes out. After we went to grab some lunch and just visit. Stacy was cracking me up, modeling her nails.  
 They really are cute though. 
Thanks Palmers for such a fun New Years Eve and New Years Day!!
It was great seeing you guys and hanging out!!

I forgot to add this at the top, but here is the Balloon drop at midnight!! 
Happy New Year!!

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
