New Years 2013

The day after Christmas we left for Texas to spend New Years with my family.  All the siblings were there and it was so nice to see and spend time with everyone!   Matthew was able to be with us for about 3 days and then he had to fly back to Arizona.  He had a month long rotation in Washington state for the month of January. He had to be there January 1st and was driving so he had to get back to start his drive.

This is us with sparking juice on New Years.  We actually had a small group with kids in bed, my younger sister at a youth dance, my dad having to be a chaperone at the dance, my other sister at the young singles dance, and Matthew en route to Washington.  But it was fun anyway!  About 5 minutes later we were all in bed!

We did some fun activities together like watched Bob Ross paint and try to copy everything he did. It was so interesting to see how different everyone picture turned out even though we all copied the same artist!

A couple people (ahem, Cole) went a little their own creative direction!  

We also split up into teams and made bottle rockets. Then we went into the backyard and shot them off!  Here are the finished products:

 I can't even remember whose flew the highest but they all did eventually fly with some adjustments made to a couple of them!

Last, as a tradition we always go bowling on New Years day.



So fun to be with so much family over New Years!
