week 14: party like it's 2014

welp it's that time of year again where we all start out

with a clean slate and start writing up the resolutions.
(we weren't planning on staying in the valley this long, but the hysells accidentally hit our
car so we had to extend our stay over a week!)

but before all that we got to say cheers to 2013 and party, party, party!!!

we had a whole shindig at the erickson house!

lots of yummy food and fun games... planned that is.

we ended up stuffing our faces then all sitting around relaxing and talking.
sharing our most embarrassing moments and funny stories
laughed soo hard!

2014 started out SOOO fun!

we headed up to Dead Horse and spent the day

playing on the four wheelers, sledding, eating DELICIOUS food, snow shoeing and 

just having a blast hanging out with each other!

it was even better because we were able to hang out with the erickson and gillies side!

i think it is pretty safe to say that we were EXHAUSTED by the end of the day.
it was such a great day though!
we all had sooo much fun!

on thursday this momma wasn't so nice to her little girl...
BEFORE

AFTER

my little sweetie pie got her ears pierced!
she was such a little champ too!
the poor lady that held her head still while they pierced them cried after...
mads did really good though.

saturday we went to payson's birthday party.

it was Sesame Street themed cuz all that little boy can talk about is "Melmo!"

Meg's did such a good job with the cake and cupcakes!
and all the food was delicious!
they sure know how to throw a party!

after the birthday party we went to support tys in his basketball game.

bryan, megan, boston and trey also came down to the valley.

it was fun seeing them too!

it was a great first week in the books for 2014!!!

HaPpY 2014 from the Gillies Family!!!
