And a Happy New Year!



I pre-warn and pre-apologize for these last two posts as there are lots-o-pictures. Truth is, I cut out about 40 that I wanted to put in. I think I'll probably do a slideshow for those of you who really want to procrastinate whatever else you should be doing! :) There was just TOO MUCH FUN and too many fun things with too many cute people to not do so many pictures!

After a wonderful two weeks in San Diego we headed off to Bountiful to celebrate a little belated Christmas and to bring in the New Year. It was fun to watch Tucker jump right in with the rest of his cousins and wreak havoc on Nana and Papa's house! ;)
We enjoyed a family parties, games, food, and lots o football! (for those who don't know my mom... well... let's just say I learned all I know about football from my mom! (sorry dad ;)
Tucker enjoyed his 'first' time in the snow, as far as he could remember and I have to say, Rudy did a great job of dressing him for the occasion (see picture below).
I got to visit with a few of my friends from high school, which was really fun. It's so great to have friends that you can just pick up right where you left off!
It was so fun to see the whole family and hear Tucker call for his cousins and Nana and Papa and Oma and Opa and have the families finally meet Cooper. Tucker's still asking for his Opa to fix his truck and Papa to fix the doorknob...that's another story.
WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU ALL VERY VERY MUCH! Thanks for making our Christmas break so wonderful (and so hard to come back to real life! :)

p.s. Blogger and I are not friends right now...it's not letting me move my photos, so I apologize on Blogger's behalf if you cannot see some of them!

Such good friends already!














A work in progress :)




















Yay for Tucker's great facial expressions!

Just hangin' out















Yay for good friends!














Lots of cute boys in stripes!!















The aforementioned 'snow suit' Rudy made for Tucker















Yay for games!




















No Nana's were seriously hurt in the making of this photo

All the cousins sitting down for some good grub!




This was part of Tucker 'wreaking havoc' with packing peanuts...those were all completely stuck to Tucker's hair from all the static...it took some serious coaxing to get them off!

Looks like so much fun. I was sad that I was already gone before you gathered for lunch. Everyone looks so good! :)

Cute pictures--and Tuckers facials are perfect!! Wish I could have been in town to join you for lunch! Looks like a great trip. I love the picture of "Nana" being tackled by the grandkids. So cute!

Hello! Hope you don't mind, but I totally stocked you from Kats! What a darling fam you and Rudy have! Dental school, Virgina?? That is great. We are in Texas, Doug is in his first year of med school. Loved seeing the picture with Jana!
