new years 2012 - redmond, oregon

brooke and marcus moved from Mississippi to Redmond, Oregon a few months ago, so we planned a little trip to spend new years with them.  braydon came along with us and it was fun cousin time.

 

all of us at a cute little ice cream shop downtown

spent new years eve at a bowling alley.  we played a little pool,

played some arcade games, and of course, we bowled.

at the stroke of midnight we partied!

and we kissed!

 then we partied some more! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

   

on our way back home we did some sight seeing. first we drove a little further into Oregon and stopped in Sisters for some lunch and yummy pastries.

 then we were off to see Suttle Lake which was feezing over.  it was cold but beautiful!

finally it was time to head for home.  on our way to salt lake we stopped at Smith Rocks to stretch our legs and do a beautiful hike.

we made it back to our car just as the sun was setting. so pretty.

my newly pregnant body couldn't make the drive straight home so we stopped in Ontario, Or to spend the night in a comfy hotel bed.  my husband loves me :)  the next morning we finished our drive home.
cute cousins in the back...

...and my cute husband in the drivers seat.

it was fun to spend time together.  i love my family!
