New Year's in Snohomish

We headed up north to my Aunt and Uncle's on New Year's day. We only went for the day, but we had SO much fun just hanging out with family, playing games, watching football and eating lots of good food. It was totally worth the 4 hour drive! Here are a few shots from the day.

My cousin Hayley reading to Evelyn & Payton (my cousin Justin's son, age 3). Evelyn loves Hayley and likes Payton more each time they meet!

The "younger cousins" (my niece Abby is in the shot, too). My sisters and I were the only grandkids until my cousin Justin was born when I was 12. After, him there were 6 more cousins. They are all grown up now (*sigh*) and had fun hanging out together.

My sister Michelle and her kids were there, too. Evelyn loves her "Aunt Michette"! Can you tell?

The hostess with the mostess!! My aunt Carolyn. Love her!

Cousin Brooke and my nephew Curtis playing their DS's.

Playing cards. One of many games played that day. My favorite... Apples to Apples!

Evelyn and Payton had fun checking out the tree. And running around the tree. And turning the lights on and off. Over and over again! My uncle Scott supervised most of the "tree time" and apparently they did okay! He is a saint!

What a fun way to ring in 2009. With family you love. Happy New Year.. a few days late! :)
