A Meyer Bell send off to 2016!

Over the mountains and through the woods to Leavenworth we go...the truck knows the way....

I think I know why we are able to have so many fun adventures...we have GREAT travelers!

Let the Meyer Bell weekend shenanigans begin!

SNOW...lots and lots and lots of SNOW!!!

A little morning couch time with these 4.

Time to hit the SNOW!!! 

Bundled up and ready to have some fun.

Cheers...Heather & Adam were in town and stopped by for a little fun in the sun and snow.

These girls loved the snow...and as Millie would say "only eat the white snow".

Building some ramps for sledding.

Rich taking the girls for a spin.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland!

Heather hanging with the kids at the jobsite.

This was the backyard for our house...just perfect!

A little afternoon relax session with Chukar.

We ventured out for brats and beer...bundled up with all the troops.

The entire Meyer and Bell clan in ONE picture...woo hoo!

Another sunny day...more time to play in the snow.

Back inside and warming up before the game!

Almost time for kickoff....

Go Huskies!!! Photo credit from our token Cougar.

Ready to ring in the NEW Year!

The ladies of the house!

This lady...so thankful for our friendship!  She helps me stay sane in the madness that surrounds us.

Ready to blow their horns for the 8:47pm NEW Year we watched online.

Chocolate Fountain...maybe not the best idea, but they had a BLAST.

Post Chocolate Foundation clean up....a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!

December 21, 2006 was the first time I kissed this man at midnight and it was also the first time he told me he loved me (I was holding out to hear it first).  We'd been together for almost 1 year...now, 11 years later, I'm so thankful for our kiss each New Year.  It reminds me each year how new our love was that night in 2006 and it resets me for the year ahead.  Excited for 2017 with this man, our family and the adventures that are ahead for us.  Happy 2017!!

Eating, Drinking and Celebrating our way through December....Christmas Style!

This is the main reason that Rich and I typically work at our client's offices.....we don't work well sharing and office (especially on a cleanse day).  Haha!

Special sister time celebrating Jenn's 40th birthday...just us! 

Lunch, Cocktails, Pedicures!

These two...they are the best of friends, they are the worst of enemies...it just depends on who stole what from whom most recently.  Brother & Sister problems for life.

All dressed up and ready to party...thanks Griffin for your photog skills.

A little trip down memory lane with some of my favs from the Tri-Delta days!

That's a framer!

The hostess with the mostess!

Sharing memories since 1999...so many laughs, cries, vacations, binge watching, parties, love and fun with these 2!

Family dinner to celebrate Jenn's 40th!  

Special kisses for Grammy from Miss M.

And of course...Millie and Papa.

Millie and Katie catching a ride with Auntie Roxy to the table.

Cheers to Jenn!

This may be the only family picture we got from the night...hahahah!

Grammy & Papa with the 4 grands!  At this point, it's a win when all the people are in the picture.

Quiet time on a Monday after a long weekend...the kids have always LOVED Chukar, but in the last few weeks, they really LOVE him and are so gentle with him that he lets them cuddle.  This makes my heart EXPLODE!

I was lucky enough to be able to volunteer at Griffin's preschool for his last day before winter break...wow, those 2.5 hours are full of fun!  

Off to recess!

Time to party! Getting ready for some pictures at the "photo booth".

Griffin and Olivia pretending to be Santa.

Fishing for candy canes...looks like all that time on the boat has really up'd his game.

Candy Cane ON!

Pin the carrot on the snow man!

More arts & crafts time.

Getting ready to sing some songs.

We survived! Me and my little man.

Off to play with Papa's train.

Last day of "work" before Christmas break...the kids loaded up their tools and doctor kit to head to Grammy & Papa's.

Let the Christmas celebrating begin...we headed over to Meyer East to do round one of Christmas...on our way over we stopped to see the Elk.  There are at least 200 in this picture.

Griffin baking cheesecake with Grandma D while Millie does dishes in the back.

Present time with Uncle Shawn.

I think these 2 had a BLAST...all tuckered out from the celebrating.

A quick trip, but thankful we were able to celebrate and see the entire Meyer family.

About 5 minutes into the journey home, these 3 passed out.  Such awesome travelers.

A quick stop home to change and we were off to Christmas Eve festivities at the Boness house.

One present for the grandkids on Christmas Eve.

Kisses for Grammy...no tongue Griffin.

Just a girl with her milk and pickle!

In honor of Grandpa Rudy.....5 Rudolphs!

 Watch out Vegas...here comes Millie.

GG with the littles.

Almost 12 eyeballs in one picture....almost.

Checking out where Santa is....better get home so we can get to sleep!

Home to read books before bed!

Looks like these kids were good! 
Santa came!

Here we go.

Shark snuggie...of course!

Doesn't everyone need these?

Where'd the kids go?  Get in my belly!!!

And the madness begins.

Mid Present Break.

The second wind.

The best present we opened...or at least the silliest.

We finished up at our house and headed back to Grammy & Papa's for some more fun.

NEED. MORE. COFFEE.

These 2 had an amazing Christmas!

We had an amazing Christmas filled with love and memories...such a blessing to share the special time with so many people we love and that love us.
