New Year's in North Powder!

At the end of December we took our annual trip to North Powder, which initially started several years ago as a New Year's trip....well now we get to ring in the New Year with great friend's (the Dalton's, who host us all, the Alonso's, the Bateman's and us) and celebrate Ashlyn Dalton's birthday! Paige was very excited to go to Ashlyn's birthday party and play with all her friend's!


Doug and Ashlyn....ready to open gifts!

Paige, Taylor, and Jace watch as Ashlyn opens her gifts.

Taylor gives a baby doll a bath...Paige distracted by some of Ashlyn's new toys.

Up in the play room...Paige has an apron on and is ready to whip up some yummy food!

One morning we went out looking for a good sledding hill....all the kid's were bundled up and excited to play in the snow. Shane, Jace, and Paige (what a load!!) are ready for some sledding!

All the kiddo's! Taylor and Ashlyn. Shane, Jace, and Paige. We all had so much fun (well the kid's had the most fun!) and the parent's got some exercise pulling the sleds and kid's up the hill (which was not terribly steep, but with 2 kids on each sled, any slope is a challenge!). As expected we had a fun time ringing in the New Year and celebrating Ashlyn's birthday with a lot of laughs and giggles!
