December 2014: New Year's Eve Party

Having as small of a home as we do (conveniently located in the middle of most family members), it was an intimate, and wonderful, family gathering for New Year's!

The kids fashioned their own party hats with Aunt Becky as everyone was showing still arriving and we prepared our yummy party type food.

For the Stokers a party is full of silliness, reminiscing, games, and usually goodies. A new game called Minions of Mordrid was what we spent the majority of our time playing this time. It was a lot of fun. Then Midnight rolled around and time to bust out the noisies and sparkly!

The party folk! 

January 1st, 2015 was a great beginning for a new year! We enjoyed some time outside sledding and jumping around. I actually stayed home with the littler ones while everyone went sledding. They went to the infamous "Old Main" and enjoyed some great speeds down the hill up at USU campus.
When they returned, we had a snack and headed over to Jump into the New Year!

Faith was blowing kisses to everyone that passed by her. Pretty different behavior from her. 

She was having a ball!
