New Years Eve & New Years

I can't believe it is already 2010 - 2009 went by way too fast! We enjoyed celebrating up at Dad & Mom Beck's house. We arrive in the evening to a huge amount of snacks. We spend the next few hours playing games, eating, and talking. It makes me laugh how easy it is for kids to stay up until midnight. They loved playing with their cousins! Below are many of them enjoying some time together.

Carter, Cooper, Parker, Ashlyn, Johnathan & Tanner

Eric, Jeff, Byron & Dad Beck enjoying card games. It makes me laugh how Camille is always playing with the adults - she is way too old for the kid games:).

As midnight neared, the kids all got into their pajamas and were able to get something to bang. This picture was taken at 11:59 p.m. - the kids were all really excited to go outside and make some noise and didn't really want to have a picture stop them from doing so. They are all sporting the new pajamas from Grandpa & Grandma Beck from Christmas.

And the banging starts . . . . .

Bradley didn't like all of the loud noises - he was one sad little boy!

Byron, Bradley & I right after ringing in the new year.

Bradley loves sitting in Byron's lap.

We spent the night and had fun the next morning with family. The kids started bright and early playing games again. Their Grandma is always so willing to play with them and they love every minute of it.

Bradley & Cadan enjoying the magnetics together.

More game time - and they seriously NEVER get tired of it.

Cadan & Bradley enjoying their lunch on New Years. The adults ended up going out to eat for Eric's birthday. It was so nice to leave the kids in good hands (Camille & Cooper) and enjoy some time childless. I really think they enjoyed having us gone also.
Here is Eric - the birthday boy.
The following day we went to see "The Frog and the Princess." Dad & Mom Beck, Melissa & Eric joined us in American Fork for the movie. I was so impressed! The music was so good and such a cute storyline.

We had a great weekend and ready to see what the year 2010 has in store. . . . .
