Ringing in the New Year

We have been blessed with a wonderful ward. Since September, we have met many new people, attended fun activities and been spiritually fed at our church meetings. There was an activity planned to ring in the New Year as a ward. Tal and Kelly Pizzey graciously offered their house for our ward party and there were many activities available throughout the evening. There was a theatre that was dominated by guys playing video games, a pool table, treats, games, basketball court, trampoline, camp fire, puzzle and movie watching and lots of visiting. I was so delighted to spend the last of 2012 and the first of 2013 with the amazing people that attended. There were 3 babies there. Oakley was the oldest of them and all three of them stayed up until midnight and later. I was so impressed with them all but I would really like to know from Erin and Caitlin how long their babies struggled with schedules after that night. Ha ha! Oakley should not stay up until one o'clock ever again. That might be the last New Year's Eve party I ever go to with kids in a long time. Thank you to the Elders Quorum for planning the party! It was a wonderful time.

Oakley liked our noise maker

This was right after midnight and Oakley was scared by all the noise.

Facial hair is so comforting
