New Years in Idaho

Early Saturday morning (Dec. 29th) we flew up to SLC to spend the rest of our Christmas vacation with John's family. His sister Kyanne lives in SLC and picked us up from the airport, meanwhile John's family brought 2 cars down from Burley to take us back up with them. We went out to lunch all together and then the boys headed back to Burley while all of the girls went to the Nutcracker ballet at Capitol Theater. It was so fun to be all together. When it was over, we drove home to Burley. We had a great time in Idaho, although it was horribly cold the entire time. I was really looking forward to taking Jack out and letting him play in the snow, but the cold wind in Burley was just too bone chilling.

Kissing Cousins!

Eva and Jack are second cousins haven't seen each other since they were 2 weeks old. Thanks Greg and Andrea for coming down from Pocatello to see us! It's always fun to see cousins.

Jack was giving out kisses left and right to the ladies! Too bad all of them were his cousins! Madisyn is Jack's only cousin on the Gochnour side.

Hugs anyone? Jack couldn't get enough lovin!

The Gochnours have adopted the Soelberg's tradition of Secret Pals. It is so fun to share and be introduced to new traditions. I got this beautiful bracelet from my sister-in-law, Kyerin. We now have matching ones!

Jack's secret pal made him this awesome blanket. I put it against his face to show him how soft it was and he got mad at me and thought I was trying to put him to bed! Silly boy.
