New Years Eve and more

Finally, the rest of my trip to WA over Christmas. We had fun hanging out all together, letting the kids play and the adults get in a lot of games. Here's a few pictures of how we spent the week.
-We all went to a bouncy house/play place. I thought I would just sit and watch, but it just looked like too much fun.
 -We used our Christmas money from Grandma Jean and enjoyed an adults night out to Falls Terrace.
 -Paige tried out her new floaty in Grandma's tub...she's ready for the pool!
 -Ben and Paige enjoyed some good naps
-We got to see Jamie (we've been best friends since we were like 9), Glen, and Sailor . We hadn't seen each other since we both lived in Utah (1 1/2 years ago!) and it was our first time we got to meet each others little girls. Paige loved getting to party with Sailor for her birthday.
-My dad made this sleigh and Paige was the perfect size this year to fit in it.
 -For New Years Eve Camille set up "Minute to Win It" games for us to play. We had fun testing our skills. Then we let the kids celebrate around 9:30 by popping some poppers and banging pots and pans. I am proud to say Ben and I stayed up till midnight and toasted with some sparkling cider.
-My sister, brother, and brother-in-law sang in church together the next day

 I had planned on flying home with Ben, but while we were in WA my brother-in-law's (Brandon) mom passed away from ALS. We grew up with his family in our ward and she was my piano teacher when I was little, so I extended my trip so I could attend her funeral. It was a very nice service full of beautiful music and sweet stories. I'm glad I got to stay for it. It was also nice to get even more time with my family.

-Paige loved watching Leo walk around and we discovered barking makes her laugh hysterically
-She also loved all the time she got with all her great-grandparents
We had so much fun in WA. I ended up being there almost 3 weeks and loved every minute of playing with my family. Thanks again mom and dad, can't wait to see you soon!
