New Year's

We finally made it to Childress after being stuck in the blizzard and was welcomed with no electricity!  The ice that they had in Childress from the blizzard had broken some power lines.  Nana and Papa were without electricity for 3 days!  2 of those days we were there.  Kenney and Elizabeth were without power in Wellington so Elizabeth and the kids came over for the fire at Nana and Papa's.  And of course the fun company! :)  So the kids and Elizabeth all slept in the living room next to the fire on Monday night.  The power came back on for Elizabeth's family so they went back home on Tuesday.  We spent lots of the day at Kevin and Kerry's trying to stay warm over there!  They were up in Utah.  Thanks for letting us crash your place!

Playing around at Kevin and Kerry's

Watching fun movies with Nana at Kevin and Kerry's
They watched Sword in the Stone and while watching the wizard duel when Merlin turns into a turtle, Tyce said, "Really?  A turtle."  Nana thought that was pretty funny.

We got home from eating dinner at Kevin's to put the kids to bed in front of the fire again.  Right as we had gotten them all laid down the power came on!  Yay!  It was so nice to feel warm again!

The next day we went and played in Wellington with Elizabeth and the kids.  We loved their huge house and are quite jealous! :)

For New Year's we hung out, ate lots of food, and played games with Nana and Papa and Kenney and Elizabeth.  The kids had so much fun playing Just Dance.  It was pretty amazing.  No messes, no fights.  Why have we not discovered this game earlier??

Of course we always have to round up as many girls as possible for Brek to play with while we're in Childress!  She loves girl time!

Bruce loved his little cousin Bentley
She was quite a hit with Brek and Bruce.  Maybe it's a "B" name thing.
