Lorelei is the ‘help-iest’ child I have.
Always there when I am Cleaning the counter, or washing/sweeping the floor, she LOVES to help!

Left for Logan, and had to stop for a birthday lunch, Tucker’s choice, SUBWAY!
We arrived in Logan, and spent some time with cousins:
Did a little last minute food shopping (I love this pic):
Eating our New Years Eve Feast!

Staying up until midnight! (I may have fallen asleep at 11:45!)
Cat painted all the girls nails, and they all we’re PLEASED as PUNCH!
New Years Tradition is playing ‘Just Dance’ on the wii, we didn’t do it in Logan, so when we got home, we all played it. I didn’t know Toph was filming it, and I kind of look silly! 🙂 But it was a fun time!

Everyone got in on the action, a perfect way to spend a Sunday Afternoon while Dad is gone to Church Meetings.
My Kids LOVE This event, and talk about it year round!
As always, a fun time was had by all!
Test Tube Invites, made entirely by Tuck:
The table and decor all set up:

Lorelei spent the party watching Brave with Aunt Tiff and Owen… When it was completed she walked around the house like this:
Happy 10th Birthday Tuck, I think this was your best party yet!
It’s always exciting to return back home to play with toys at home, after being away on Christmas Morning!
The kids loved being able to get the toys out and the batteries in! 🙂
Lorelei wanted to open her castle:
Elliot was so excited about his remote control car and Loop-de-Hoop Race track set:

And the big kids ran right to the wii to play Skylanders, and Truman’s new Imaginext Castle, and asked me to stop taking pictures and video of them. It’d been a ‘picture-y’ few days, I understood.
And later that night, using Truman’s Nerf Gun shooting at a target and Tucker 🙂
