New Year's

For New Year's weekend, we went down to CA to Clint's parent's house. Troy (Clint's brother) and Sarah and cousins, Henry and Arthur, were there visiting from OR, and cousins Savannah and Nathan live near Grandpa and Grandma. So Lucas had fun, fun, fun playing with his cousins! We were all exhausted by the end of the weekend! (And I forgot my camera. Unbelievable! Thanks to everyone for sharing with me).

On New Year's Eve, we played and set off confetti poppers and Pop-Its. The kids stayed up until 10, and then the adults finished off the night playing PR and toasting to 2010!
Henry loves The Polar Express, so the kids made lots of trains and punched tickets. Everyone got to ride! Henry was an expert ticket puncher.
On Friday, the men went to the Rose Bowl and the ladies took the kids to the park.
Grandma's Lego pirate ship was a hit. They spent time building and rebuilding it each day.
The kids had a massive wrestling match with Uncle Tyler. He had to have been black and blue the next day!
The shirtless duo-post-wrestling match. I think Henry is Santa in this picture. There is a video clip of their conversation that's pretty funny.
I love these pictures!
Kate: Look at that cute baby Artie! He's just so cute!
Kate: Come here, Artie, so I can hug you! Hold still!
Kate: See? That's not so bad!
Kate: This hug isn't over yet! Why do you look so bothered?
We got a little crazy and decided to take all of the cousins down to JC Penney's to get some group shots taken. They turned out great! Such cute kids!!
This was near the end of the photo shoot. I love all their faces in this shot! Henry can't figure out what's going on with Nathan, Lucas is impressed and taking notes, and Savannah is still posing and pretty!
This one is our favorite. They are soooooooo adorable!!!!! They were just babies!! How did they get to be 4??
We had such a blast visiting, playing with cousins, eating, and playing games! Happy New Year!
