New Year's

We got back from the wedding just in time for New Year's Eve.
We first stopped at one of our favorite places you can only find in Northern NY, Jreck subs. So delicious!
Then we headed to Roxanne's for the evening for some food and games. 
Jaren playing with his cousin Ridge.
Ryder was well taken care of. 
Even the big kids were playing games. Kyle, Brooke, and Dayton.
Then the little girls took over. Taryn, Kendall, Brielle, and Camrie.
And go on and on and on.
Thanks aunt Robin for the fun noise makers.
Brooke finally got a turn too.
New Year's Day. The cousins came over to play. Grandma Jody with all her grand-kids. 
New Year's Eve also brought us a snowstorm. So the kids spent some of the day, and night in the snow.

Camrie and Dayton got to go ride snowmobiles for the first time at Roxanne's.
 
We could not miss another opportunity to play Acquire.
A few days later Grandma Jody took the girls to work with her where they got their nails and hair done.

Jared & Katie Wedding

The wedding we had been waiting all year for was finally here. The kids were all excited to finally get to wear their new fancy clothes.  Getting us all to the wedding and through the day was an adventure, but we were so happy to be a part of it.
We all got checked into our rooms and made our way to the main building for the rehearsal and then the dinner.
It snowed the whole weekend and it was so beautiful. The kids loved the amazing icicles.
The next day, (Friday) was the big day. The girls were given cute flower girl robes to wear while they got their hair done.
It's so nice to be a boy. Dayton played with the icicles while the girls got all pretty.
Hair all done and looking beautiful. 
Time for pictures.
The wedding party.
I snuck into the ballroom to take a quick picture before anybody arrived.
More pictures of everyone just before the wedding.
Jaren was a train wreck so even though I tried so hard to get him in this picture he would not.
This is what he was like all night.
The three ring bearers.
Hanging out with the bride right before the wedding.
Dayton pulled the little guys down in the wagon. It was so sweet, but Jaren decided to walk down by himself first with fluffy.  (And then my phone died so I had to find another one to take more pictures).
The wedding was beautiful and flawless, then it was on to the reception. Dinner, dancing and music for hours.
Kyle dancing with his girls.
I spent most the night with this monster. He finally did take a small power nap and then hit the dance floor.
Mother son dance.
Kyle gave the best man toast and was just the perfect amount of sweet and funny.
It only took about 50 pictures to get one good family picture. Even after all that we still didn't get a great one, but this was the best we were going to get. Taryn was sick and Jaren was tired and Ryder kept spitting up.
