New Years Eve happenings

We spent our New Years Eve with some new family...or new to us family!

When we moved to Idaho we met Cole's 2nd cousin. He and his family live about 15 miles north of Jerome. They were nice enough to open their home to Cole for a couple of nights during our transition at the start of his job. They showed up, without being asked, to help unload the trailer when we moved into our house. When they found out we were in need a a refrigerator (our rental didn't come with one), they GAVE us their extra fridge and would only accept a thank you in return. They had us over for dinner our second weekend in town and have been more than gracious to us.

We had plans with them for Christmas Eve, but decided to spend Christmas with Cole's sister so we cancelled with them. We felt terrible but we couldn't be in two places at once and because there was travel time involved in getting to Mandi's we couldn't do Christmas Eve with the Henderson's (I know, it's kinda weird to spend time with another family with the same last name!). Any how when we cancelled with them we were invited out for New Years Eve, but we had tentative plans with our friends the Doshier's in Utah....that fell through Monday night and within minutes we had a text from the Henderson's asking if our friends were coming or if we'd like to come out there....So we went!

We had a blast! They have 8 kids....their two youngest are about Joshua's age. Cameron and Joshua were in heaven having kids to play with. Cole and I spent the evening visiting and laughing. So much fun. Games were played, food eaten and tears from laughter shed. When we left just after 10 pm Cole and I both looked at each other and said at the same time "we needed that!"

We came home and put the two youngest to bed. Cameron claimed he wasn't tired and snuggles up on the couch with me and watched part of A Walk To Remember. At about 11:47 Cole and I found a video of the ball dropping, showed Cameron and than tucked him into bed...He got my last kiss of 2013. 3 minutes later, at midnight, Cole got my first kiss of 2014. I haven't stayed up till midnight on New Years Eve in years!

We had a great night ringing in the new year. So excited to see what this year has in store for us.
