New Years Eve PARTY TIME!

We started our celebration with ice skating at the Gallivan center. Tina and her girls met us downtown. It was so fun skating outside with all the Christmas lights!
These two are so much fun and I have really enjoyed having them around so much during the holidays!
What a darling group of girls. Alli was already on her way to another party so she couldn't be with us...
 Nice photo bomber (I'll claim him!)
Splits on Ice?!! Yes!
Me and my amazing sister, Tina. Even though I am older, I look up to her in so many ways.
Afterwards, we got dinner at the spaghetti factory in Trolley Square - Luckily we didn't have too wait long for our table. We were hungry...
Alli had a great time with tons of friends at an massive balloon - confetti drop party. The Goffs really know how to throw a fantastic High School Party!
Happy New Year Everyone!

Skiing!! Eating!! Sledding!! Playing Games!!

How can we not have fun when the words skiing, eating, sledding and playing games are involved? What a great weekend! We started at Sundance with an all day ski pass and about 12 of us all on the slopes.  Seeing each other here and there and riding up on the lifts was first class. We haven't been skiing for such a long time and it was fun to have our whole family up on the mountain all together!
Yippee! Alli picked up skiing right where she left off...she is a natural!
Madi has the snowplow down. Only her second time skiing and she smiled as she made it down the run.
A magazine cover shot for sure!
I was so proud of Kayli....this was the first time she tried snowboarding since she broke her elbow.
Here she is with her cute Snow Bum going down the slope...
Beautiful Girl in a Gorgeous place...
Sara's very first run off the ski lift! She took a lesson in the morning and made it down the hill with ease!
Riding up the ski lift with this favorite girl of mine!
Relaxing after a great day!!
Grandma taught a mini FHE lesson about David and Goliath and all the kids got to try hitting Goliath with their artificial rocks and sling shots - A very active lesson and one that will be remembered for a long time.
We played a very fun dice game called "Greedy" that Ryan taught us. He perfected the scoring on the computer and everyone became more anxious to play night after night! Such a fun game!

We were all excited about Ryan and Taryn's Chocolate Fondue night!
Cookies, bananas, rice crispies, strawberries and pretzels all taste even better with a little chocolate drizzled on top - YUMMY!
Upstairs and Downstairs the kids made rainbow loom bracelets. The project was ongoing the entire weekend.  Trevor set a record for the making the most and wearing them all on one arm.
We all enjoyed the game room many times playing pool, ping pong, foosball, and air hockey!

The white elephant game was the hit of the trip! We were laughing so hard, especially when Alli picked and opened her special prize:
What a classic! Thanks to Heather and Steve for bringing this beauty.  We'll have to see where this picture ends up. LOL
The sledding hill awaits right outside our cabin...(to be continued...)

Fun Times on the Hill!

DAY 1 - Let's take these sleds for a ride...
DAY 2 - Can't get enough of this!
