Welcome 2016! Its hard to believe its here because I hardly had time to reflect on this past year. We were visiting family all last week. Here’s our first week . . .

My nephew was determined to arrive in 2015. He was due in Feburary but my sister went into labor on December 27th. Carson was born on the 30th – 6 weeks early. He is doing well and so is his mom.

My littlest had his first helping of Grandma’s spaghetti (and his second and his third).

Grandpa always has fun with the boys.

We ate lots of sweets. I am now paying for it.

Brooks found a pelt of a fox at my cousin’s house. I think he was pretending to be a cowboy or he was trying to scare his brother with it.

Loaded in the car. We were still happy to be together at this point.

The older boys went to a basketball with their Grandpa.

New Year’s Eve sushi!

We are in a cowboy phase.

Capitol in route to see my nephew.

All the cousins. Silas was crying in this picture because he was cold but if you glance quickly you don’t even notice.

Happy New Year! Here’s hoping I continue my weekly blogging.
