Happy New Year everybody!!!  We are excited for a great up and coming 2012!

Today we slept in (church was at 11) and I especially enjoyed not having to go to any early morning meetings!  🙂  We ate breakfast and then got ready to go to church.  The kids were a little nervous to go to a different ward, but we assured them that everything would be OK and that they would survive!  🙂  We weren’t sure how Ben would react since not only were we away from home going to church, but this was his very first Sunday out of Nursery and in Sunbeams!  😐  Everyone did great, however!  Ben was a little whiny but we left him anyway, and the Sunbeam teacher was awesome with him and although he was still nervous about being there, he did great!  Zach thought he was really cool because he went to Primary with Nate and Tanner who are more than 2 years older than him!  🙂

After church, we came home and before everyone got undressed to lounge around for the day, we took family pictures.  They turned out really good and I think that this one will be our picture for 2012!  I love my new camera!

We couldn’t wait to change into comfy clothes and relax for the rest of the day.  We were all still pretty tired from the night before!  🙂  The boys played with Legos most of the afternoon, and all the kids played games together, went on an afternoon walk, and enjoyed the 70+ degree weather!  We have to go home tomorrow, and we’ll REALLY miss that!  We won’t have 70 degree weather for the next 4 months!
