Growing up, I always remember watching the ball drop on TV every New Years Eve, but since we haven't had television for years, we have to get a little more creative with the kiddos! We started the night off with dinner at Cafe Rio. What a fun surprise to run into my cute niece, Lauren there! I love always having a niece or nephew or two at BYU-I! Family resemblance? I think, YES!
Afterwards, we went ice skating. This activity is usually pretty brutal to the back with little kids, but Ash picked it up faster than any of our other kids. He had it down after an hour! His athletic ability coupled with his independent spirit makes for some fast learning. (But, yes, I was still sore the next day from holding him up!) Lauren and boyfriend went skating too.
This is Ash's "fast" pose!
We challenged the kids to make it to midnight! We popped balloons containing a surprise activity every thirty minutes to help past the time! Ashton LOVED this. He said, "I love this happy game!"
For one half hour, we wrote goals. I'm sure glad Kyler took it so seriously...
Cheers!

Happy New Year 2014!
I'm looking forward to another year with these faces. They're my favorite.
