New Years!

Happy New Years!


This year we celebrated with friends up at the Russell cabin and had SO much fun! Sledding, RZRing in the snow, ping pong tournaments, ticket to ride, poker, tons of food & snacks, silly string, bubbly, goofy pics & new years resolutions... Best new years ever!

The majority of us slept over up at the cabin (around 20 people) so it was a full night of fun! Our friend Taylor's birthday is new years so we had a mini celebration for him up there too.

Our dinner was a mexi-mash up of tacos, rice, beans, salad, & lots of snacks. Soooo many calories of goodness!

Natalie painted Kinsley's nails and she was being so patient!

new years balloons... aka toys for the dogs

Zoey was apparently a horse for the night

cute lil Kota

Jeff put his GoPro on the dogs then Austin & had a live feed going to his cell.. kind of amazing haha

Micah's stank face

cheeser Cassie

Harrison (on the right) says to Jarris (left) at one point during the night: "Hey kid, watch me ride this dog." best line of the night! little gangster talk hahaha

Jeff showing Kinsley what's up & how to play jingle bells

Jarris gave himself a 5 o'clock shadow! biker dude ;)

Jenni & me doing our best awkward family photo pose 

Livi getting some cuddles from Kim

while Cassie & I fought it out, Zo was very good at fetching the balls... only crunched a few of them  ;)


Right before midnight I passed these papers around. I found them on Pinterest (of course) and really liked that they weren't the typical 'new years resolutions' that I've done in the past.

the person I'm going to be more like is kinda obvious... my girl crush Jennifer Lawrence. :)

happy new years!


silly string attack!



my kiss at midnight!

Nicole's strangle at midnight ;P


Right after this, Micah decided to shoot off a $1 "vamp" firework.... oh my gosh, it was the best $1 ever spent! Massive firework show, seriously! Well except it fell over & started shooting at the cabin hahaha!

Zoey was way freaked out, poor thing was hiding under the table!

all the guys

and us girls

cheers!


Nicole & Eric working it

Alisha & Taylor gettin cray cray

then serious




this is how 3am passed




and 4am...



Those of us still left at that point crashed after "pass the trash" which Michael & Micah kinda dominated... and I think Micah won? Close call...

The next morning we had waffles, muffins, eggs, bacon, & candy. Pretty amazing. We mostly hung out, played in the snow, & shuffled around like the tired zombies that we were.





Micah and I suited up for our RZR ride. (look familiar? yep those are our ghostbusters costumes)

ah that little smile, so cute! he clearly had a good time!! ;)

such a fun quick cabin trip! happy new years to everyone!

xoxo Mandi
