Ringing in the new year

We were exhausted from the Sand Dunes that on News Years Eve we did our best to stay up until we could watch the ball drop and head off to bed. Gage played a little Trouble with Grandma and Gavin and Kennady loved playing fetch with the dogs! We are party animals, I know!





On New Years Day we just hung out with each other. The kids made boats with Grandpa! They had a lot of fun! The girls went along with Emily for her engagement pictures.

Sand Dunes

We just got back from vacation in California. We visited Jeff's parents and his sister's family. Jeff's cousin was also in town from NY. It was good to see everyone and we had a great time. On New Years Eve we went to the Kelso Sand Dunes. It was a rough hike. Especially carrying a baby, but we had fun. I didn't have my camera, but no need to! I went with 2 photographers! I had to sift through over 400 pictures, just of the sand dunes. So my California post will have to come in many posts, because there are so many pictures. But they are all such fun pictures, so enjoy!

(these are in random order)
