It's an M. family tradition to get together with Blake's family over New Year's Eve. This year, Blake's niece was also baptized on January 5, so we decided to combine the two events and have a major family get together. Our family drove to Logan Friday night and stayed with Blake's brother and his family. Saturday morning was the baptism, followed by lunch at Steph's house and sledding in her awesome back yard. This was Brooke's first time sledding and she loved it!

Blake and I even joined in the fun!
Saturday night was our traditional family party at Kent's house. Lots of yummy food, the kids (and Blake and Kurt) had a giant nerf gun war in the basement while the other adults had a karaoke marathon.
It's well known in the family how much Blake loves Oreos Some of the nieces made Blake a special Oreo It's all of the filling from all the other cookies in the package in one giant cookie!
Brooke and "Yabba" are best little buddies. They are only a few apart in age. One time I walked by and these two were deep in conversation. Brooke looked up at me and said, "Mom, we're talking" as if that were my cue to keep moving and just let them be.
Thanks again for another great party. See you in the summer for the next reunion!

Looks like a fun trip! I still can't get over how fast Brooke is growing up!
That looks like perfect sledding weather. How fun to do with cousins! It looks like Blake has some pretty generous nieces -- the filling is the best part! :)
