Party, Reunion, Party!

The Chapmans moved in yesterday!  We had great plans for a New Year's Eve party!  We watched a movie and ate dinner and Jacob as asleep by 7:00!

Tessa sure loves her brother.

Dan and Sophie in similar positions.

Richard and Jess talking about mini vans.

Still awake!

Grandpa resting on Tessa's bear.

We made it!  Sophie and Tessa made it to the New Year!!

Today was the annual Bay family reunion that my mom hosts every year.  Here's my darling niece with one of her twins.

Cousins are the best!  

Some some of my cousin's kids and grandkids!

I loved talking to my cousin Karen.  I haven't seen her since her mom's funeral many years ago.  

The only members of the Gomez family to make it.

I loved having my grandkids sharing a table with my Uncle Bud and Aunt Betty!

My sister-in-law with her precious only grandchild.

We had a great crowd this year, and not only my siblings and their kids!

A fun table of Ellises.

The West grandchildren.

My brother and his cute wife with their grandtwins.

I had to leave the reunion early to get home and take Jonathan and Charity to the airport.  They are visiting some friends in Post Falls, Idaho until Sunday. 
We decided to have a birthday party for Elliott a week early, so she could have some cousins share it.

She was pretty excited about her party.

Ready to party!

This is how the guys party, it involves a laptop and bowl games.

They loved playing musical pillows!

No one really went out when we took pillows away.


Party bags with crowns!

And a pinata.

Sophie had the best swing.

Elliott loved it!

Tessa was kind of careful.

Jacob got into it.

Meg broke it open!

Elliott loved her gifts!





A fun interlude in the snow.



They ate some dinner, so that they could have some of this delicious birthday cake!

Blowing them out!

The pegasus was very loved.  

Nice job coloring the clothes for the wooden doll!

Jacob's doggy and Elliott's pegasus hug good-bye!
Hard to believe Elliott will be 3 years old next week!
