Last week we flew to Utah for our yearly visit to see Stan's family.
It was a great week, once we got there--after missing our first flight--curse those long lines. We loved visiting family and friends and enjoying COLD weather and snow all week.
A few highlights of the week (that I have pictures for):
1. Miriam learning to climb stairs
She was pretty good at it by the time we left.
...and pour herself a glass of Root Beer.
2. Spending time with Family
These picture includes two of Stan's half-brothers, Jeremy & Chad and their families, Grandpa Harvey & Sherri, sister Gina and husband Allen and mother Karen.
What a bunch of nuts. :-)
3. Living with 2 dogs and 2 cats for the week
(Miriam especially loved this)
This dog was the most gentle and easy going dog I've ever seen. Here he lets cousin Ainsleigh (2) sit on him without even budging.
Miriam loved following Ainsleigh around the house.
4. Spending New Year's Eve with Stan's 2 best friends in the whole world, Kevin & Derek, and their wives Heather & Sarah.
Doing what we love best, playing games.
We learned a few new games, Bohnanza & Dominion, that we are now tempted to buy for our own collection (some day I might post a picture of that!)
Derek sporting his Gryffindor hat and scarf. Look how well he matches!
5. Spending an evening with Kevin and Heather, eating dinner and enjoying another round of games.
This time we had the kids so they got to enjoy some time playing together.
I just can't get over how cute this kid is!
Peekaboo!
Rachel (4), Miriam (1) & Seth (2)
6. Chasing Miriam around in her Sunday dress, trying to get a good picture.
I love how she sticks out her bottom lip!
At least she's still, even if she's not smiling!
If only we could get everyone looking and smiling at the same time...
There were many other highlights, but the best thing about the week was just being able to spend time with those who we don't get to see very often, but love so very much. Thank you all for a wonderful week, and we look forward to next year!
Happy New Year! 2011 is going to be great!
