New Years Eve

Tonight we had some of our friends over to celebrate New Years Eve east coast time.  We had 11 balloons that we popped every half hour.  In each balloon there was something fun to do.

 4:00 Donuts on a String

 4:30 Twister Competition

 We even had a bracket.

 5:00 Pizza

5:30 Treasure Hunt

 6:00 Chubby Bunny Marshmallow Game

 6:30 Stacking Cup Race

 7:00 Wobblex Balloon Fun

 7:30 Musical Candy Ball

We passed this giant cellophane wrapped ball around and when the music stopped, the kids unwrapped the ball until they found candy.  There was a lot of candy in that ball!

 8:00 Popcorn and Movie

 8:30 Hot Chocolate Bar

 9:00 Happy New Year Celebration!

 Happy 2016!

Snow Day

Today was Snow Day!  So Nana, Sterling, Ellyse, Uncle Brett, Cousin Kane,

Mommy, Marshall,

Pierce, Aunt Heidi

Uncle Eric, Beckett and Daddy all headed to Mt. Hood to play.

Sterling looked like a scene from the search and rescue.

We found a fun area to sled on.

Beckett took a few spills

but loved every minute of it.

Of course Pierce wanted to sled with Ellyse.

Wheeeeee!

Cousin Kane

This was Kane's first time sledding.

Sterling and Nana went down the hill a couple of times.

Uncle Eric and Ellyse

Sterling was not too fond of the snow.

Beckett loved the red disc best.  It went the fastest!

Cousins

Daddy went a little too fast for Sterling's taste.
