Justin's cousin, Jonathan, his wife Daija and cutie pie little guy Bridger, came from Boston to see us for New Year's. They came the day after Christmas so we were lucky enough to spend the whole week with them! It was so nice to have some family around for the holidays. It was SO fun! We started out with Daija's birthday, complete with cake and ice cream. She turned 27.
We spent time at the Rain Forest checking out all the crazy animals.
(I know, Jack looks somewhat like an orphan with those sweat pants inside of his rain boots. What can I say? He put them on by himself!)
The weather warmed up just enough for us to spend some time at the park. It was slightly muddy though since the snow had been melting. Fun, but muddy.
Jack was loving throwing snow balls at Jonathan. He didn't have gloves on and his hands were bright red and hurting by the time we left.
Eating a snack and cruising around in the mud. I should have put his rain boots on him! We all had to throw our jeans in the wash when we got home.
We played lots of card games, watched lots of movies, got caught up after not seeing each other forever, talked about both of our futures after dental school (Jonathan is also graduating from D school this spring!), went to Kirtland, Jon and Justin fixed my closet, and of course... celebrated New Year's!!
Jack is all ready with his little bowl of confetti that he cut up. It's amazing how such a small bowl of confetti can make such a big mess.
(I love that chubby face!)
Scott and Denisse also made an appearance! They were on their way back from Denisse's sister's wedding in Utah and got in late New Year's Eve. We used to all live in the same apartment complex in Rexburg, ID when we were first married with no kids. Now there are five kiddos we have added to the mix! We had Anderson (1), Bridger (2), Jack (3), Braden (3, almost 4), and Brielle (4, almost 5). Five kids under the age of five makes for a lot of craziness and a lot of fun! We are so lucky to have such great friends who take the time and money to come and see us! Thank you for making our lonely little holidays not so lonely!!

isaac saw the picture of daija and the boys at the rain forest and goes, "hey, what's mommy and jonah and isaac doing?" maybe because now i have brown hair and he has similar boots to jack? i mean, heaven knows i'm not as thin as daija, but thanks little buddy :)
