New Year Celebration!

The week of Christmas Brad's whole family was in town. The week of New Year most of my family were in town (there were 6 of the 9 brothers and sisters), so needless to say we have been very busy, my mind is still trying to unwind and my house is trying to restore! We had such an fun time with everyone here are some highlights: We took another trip up to Zion. It was more of a historical tour than a scenic. My family lived in Springdale for a few years and so we got to hear all the old stories.






In this photo up in the top right of the mountain there is a white spot. It is "the witch's face" if you look closely she is looking to your left the white is her face and red hair coming down. The pointy part is her chin. If you click on the picture it is easier to see. This is viewed from the house we lived in, and I think it scared my bros and sis's to death to look at it!



This is 5 of us with my mom. From left: my brother Jason, Sister Suzie, My mom, Me, Sister Diane, Brother Rob. My mom wanted this picture in front of the tree cause she has a picutre of us all on it when we were little! Pretty Cool!





This is us in front of the house we used to live in. We wish we could buy it and share between all of us. We were laughing that someone was going to come out with a shot gun cause we just made ourselves at home for a while!






This is our New Years Kiss! I have a picture of us from each year we have been together kissing. It is funny some years it looked like I was kissing a girl. Much better with Brad's short hair. (I don't think Holly was enjoying this as much)



We were going and going and going, Emily just couldn't hang. She is a young Kroff!




We spent New Years at my sister Suzie's house. We played a bunch of different games, this is Suzie, Ria, Ron, and Robbie playing Mahjong Ria is from the Philipines and she grew up playing this game and has got us all hooked on it!



This is a bunch of us palying Guitar Hero World Tour! We are a bunch of ROCK STARS! We took turns playing all the different parts. in this photo My newphew in law Clint is on drums, Nephew Michael is on Bass, Niece (married to Clint) on guitar, Niece Lainee, Izzy and sister Diane are the singers! We had so much fun!!!


As a tradition MaKayla goes to "First Night" downtown with all her cousins her age. She is the only girl that age so she gets to hang with their guy friends and they get to hang with her girl friends, works out pretty nicely. From left Topher, Hayden, Tyler, MaKayla, and friend Drew.



The night before New Years Eve, my Niece Trish and her husband Clint invited all the teenagers over for a sleepover party. They played Guitar Hero and games until 5am. Crazy Kids!! They had so much fun, there were about 15 kids there i think HOW FUN!!



This is a picture of all the grandkids: Top: Trish From Left: Clint, Derek, Izzy, Jenna, Kaity, Topher, Gabe, Tina, Ryan, Zack, Hayden, Zane, Tyler, MaKayla Bottom: Michael, Trevor, and Maddie. There were a few missing but this was most of them!

One of the funnest adventures was "The Search for Fluffy the Hampster!" Oh yeah you guessed it! Somehow the cage got opened in the night and Fluffy got out! Me and the girls spent 3 hours ccleaning and searching the house. We said a prayer and found Fluffy! she was hiding in the oven drawer! Good thing we found her before dinner time :) It only took 1 hour to get her out once we found her. Luckily she was ok and it didn't take too long :))
