New Years

New Year's was a little different this year since Brody was in Fort Collins, and I was in Logan.  He went to a party with some of our friends in CO and I went to a party with some friends in UT.  But, despite the fact that we weren't together and that I was the odd ball of the group that night, I still had fun.

New Year's Eve
We spent the night eating lots, playing tons of fun games, watching the ball drop and sending off lanterns (definitely the best part!)

While everyone was getting ready to smooch their significant other when the clock struck midnight, I stood in the background like a creeper taking pictures..... ha ha!

The lanterns were such a fun and different way to ring in the new year!

New Year's Day
The next day, I went snowshoeing with my family, and some extended family (the Skeens and the Bundy's).  It was a lot of fun, but since I didn't have any of my proper snow gear, it was a little cold.

It helped though when we got to our destination and made a fire.

That night we had a yummy dinner with everyone and played some games.

We had a wonderful 2012 and I'm excited to see what 2013 has to offer!
