Happy New Year!

We made our way to Cocolalla for New Year's.  We decided to try out the boat ride to the North Pole at the Lake Cour De'Alene Resort first.

 We took a boat ride across the water to the other side.  We had a good view of the lights at the resort.  And it was nice it be inside the boat since it was FREEZING outside!

 The boat stopped right in front of the North Pole and Santa read all the kids names on the nice list.  The girls were beyond thrilled when he said their names!  He did remind them they have a whole year ahead of them to be good since it was a few days after Christmas!

 Lydia's face in this picture cracks me up!

 Pretty excited girls about their boat ride to see Santa!

 We were excited to have lots of snow at Cocolalla so we could get in our New Year sledding!

 What are we doing?

 We walked down to the water and saw the eagles in the trees. 

 The water was frozen but we had never seen it like this.  We could see right through to the bottom and it was so smooth!  Too bad we didn't have ice skates!

 Sunggly cousins watching movies in Grandpa and Grandmas' bed!

 Daddy and Lydia!  This time on New Year's Day we brought Lydia home from the hospital.  Hard to believe that was a year ago.  We sure do love our happy, smiley girl!

We even had some pop-its and noise makers to close out the night.

Happy New Year!

McKenna's baby blessing!

Dallin blessed McKenna on December 28th at the Heath's house.  What a good reason to gather together at Christmas time!

 All the cousins (just missing Avery) with their new outfits from Grandpa and Grandma!

Sweet baby McKenna!

Merry Christmas!

 Merry Christmas!

We had Christmas morning at home with the girls.  We opened presents and had fun looking through what we gave each other.  A much better way to spend a Christmas than running back and forth to the hospital like last year!

 Lydia loves books!

 Eliza and Talia got their Elsa and Anna Barbie dolls they were hoping for!

 So excited!

 Presents from our Moody cousins!  Thanks guys!

 Then we headed over to mom and dad's for brunch and more presents!

 Lydia got the hang of opening presents!

 The girls with their robes and pajamas from Grandpa and Grandma Great!

 Later that day we had Christmas dinner at our house.  We even had a visit from Dad's foster brother Joe and his family.  It was a fun day of gift giving, visiting with family, and remembering the birth of our Savior.

Merry Christmas!
