Christmas/ New Years festivities


Christmas
This year for Christmas we were in Auburn and had a wonderful couple of fun filled days!  All of Kyle's sisters and families were able to come into town so that was awesome, but crazy!  We were there a couple of days before everyone came in.  
The Sunday before Christmas we went the Congregational church where our sweet little niece Rowan, and Kyle's little sister Mackenna were angles in their nativity play!  They were soo cute!  After that Kyle and I went to church to feel the wonderful Christmas Spirit!


Here Rowan is with her dad.. we didn't get a good picture of Mackenna!

Christmas Eve was a fun filled packed day!  First we had a birthday party for our little nephew Bridger!  He's such a cutie! Well that morning Kyle went and played football with his 'boyfriend' Josh! 

The Boyfriends 

 
The party, but you can't really see Bridge!

There's the birthday boy with his new sword!!

Kovin and Lukers!

After the party we went on a hike, just up the road from Megan's house, where the party was.


Then after the hike we all went over to Grandma and Grandpa Sipherd's for Dinner and opening presents!  There were soooo many people, but it was fun!

That night we went to a  midnight candle light service back at the Congregational where a family friend danced in the program.  One busy day!

All of the babies were up pretty early so we had some present opening before everyone got to Sara's that morning.  I got my poptarts from Santa and Luke opened a few toys santa brought.

mmmm love this!

Kyle and I opened our presents to each other too!

New Years Eve 
For New Years Eve we headed to Fallon to spend it with my family!  Billy, and Cameron were still home so it was fun!  We had a ton of food, and friends came over to help us eat!  We all played games, and watched football, and ate and ate!

HAPPY 2013!!!!  Luke almost made it to the new year, but not quite!  He didn't even wake up from all the noise! 

New YearsDay
The next day we all went sledding way up in the mountains!  It was cold, but holy cow it was soooo much fun!  The hill we found had this intense drop off at the end of it, and we all went flying over it.  Sooooo much fun!!  I have video but can't figure out how to get it on here...
