New Year’s Eve

Kathie invited us over for a gathering at her house.  We had a great time!
There was food and games and balloons!

.

Our toast of sparkling punch!

We were home by 10.  A great night!

The Drive Home

The kids keep telling me they don't want to go home. They have enjoyed their time here. I have enjoyed the wonder as they have discovered snow.

Good bye Grandma and Grandpa. Thank you for our wonderful Christmas! We love you!

Driving through blowing snow - kinda scary!

We drove through Eureka. We thought that was fun!

Crazy things you see when you travel - like a McDonald's that stretches across the road!

We had to get a picture for Kathie and Rob of the St Louis temple.

Jason loves a sandwich he can only get in St Louis.  So we stopped for some.  Someone was bored with all of this driving!

That night we stayed in Missouri.

 

We got to meet some blog friends in Missouri!  They are so nice!  We love the Heflin family!

Last Day

For our last day we tried to enjoy it to the max. Sledding, puzzles, shopping,movies, eating. This has been a wonderful week. We have all had a wonderful time!

Thursday

Being here is like being at an extremely nice, extremely well stocked cabin. It has been so nice to just relax and not worry about anything!

Thursday we left the house and went to breakfast at IHOP. I guess they don't get too many parties of 11! After eating too much (kinda the theme of this week) the babies and I came home and the girls went out to spend their Christmas money.

That night was the May I? Competition- Jason and Sandi were our winners.
