New Year 2015!

New Years Eve we had a little party at my parents house and then Jake and I took off on a date to Dai Bai dang, one of the best Chinese restaurants in town. We love it. It was so nice to have alone time together, especially after all the sickness, Christmas, and traveling busyness. We saw into the woods afterwards and it was an interesting movie. I didn't tell jake it was a musical until right before it started ;) 

Little princess in her new sleeping beauty dress she got for Christmas. 

My mom curled Bella's hair while we were out with rags like she did with me, it turned out so funny. Her hair is still too short so it looked like she was a dr Seuss character :) 

The boys tried so hard to stay awake but they passed out around 9 ;) so my parents, Jake and I and my aunt Julie and Uncle Channing stayed up drinking sparkling cider, and eating delicious desserts from La Boulangerie. It was a fun and relaxing night together. 

This was my fortune from dinner that night and I kept it. It's a great reminder for us all. Keeping the eternal perspective in every aspect of our lives is so essential! 

After New Years we still had a few days of vacation so we visited with my Grandpa some more, who couldn't get over how big isabella was getting and how much she talked! :) 

Grandma played dress up 

We visited one of our favorite parks to feed the ducks, Bella was so frustrated that she couldn't catch a duck as they ran away from her. 

We went to Sky walk to let the kids jump around, Jake and I had fun jumping too!

Love hanging with my siblings, we are all so different but yet have many similarities. I love each of them for their unique qualities and enjoy watching their journey! 

Sweet caleb is always thinking of his brother Ryan. At dinner sometimes he asks for me to make him a plate of food so we don't forget about him. He wanted to use the New Years party balloons to write a message and send them to Ryan in heaven. He is so thoughtful, always thinking of others. Happy new year Ryan! We so look forward to 2015!
