New Years in Illinois

Went went to Illinois for New Years Eve again this year. We have friends from Colorado - Jesse and Kaelee Horton, that come home for the Holidays to visit their family. They are nice enough to allow us to party with them. Off to Crystals for New Years Eve, we enjoyed lots of yummy food and played games.

Kijanna and Kaelee were excited to play American Girl Dolls together. Notice they have dolls that look like each other - not themselves

Kali, Alyssa and Rebecca had fun hanging out and texting all night.

Everyone had fun playing Rock Band!

Erek and Jesse rock!

Christmas

Wow! I am amazed at the lack of pictures I took this Christmas!~ Bad mom.





Kijanna had a school Christmas program the week before school let out. She had lots of fun learning the songs and singing them with the whole school. Hard to believe there is only a year and a half left of Elementary school left in our family!~







We had some snow! Not as much as all of our family in Utah, Colorado and Oregon, but the girls and Erek still had fun doing our tradition of running through the first snow barefoot. Notice that I did NOT participate. (And that I need a new camera for my birthday....)









The girls did a cookie exchange and caroling at the Church.









We went to see the Nutcracker at the PAC.






Of course the girls got new Christmas PJ's and had fun sprinkling the lawn with reindeer food on Christmas Eve!
