HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
First item of the Year....breakfast and games at Grandma Norma's!
Earlier this week while we were already in Idaho
we came up with the idea to just do Eastlie's baby blessing there!
We asked the family what they thought and they all agreed it was a great idea!
That way we could share the special day with so many people!!
Luckily we had thrown in a few church appropriate articles of clothing!
Then my sis in law Melanie came to the rescue again by letting us borrow
her baby blessing dress that every Furniss baby girl has worn!!
So we called and got approval from our bishop and Dad's bishop.
Then Dad hurried and ordered food for the luncheon.
And just like that we were ready to go!
It was such an amazing day to have so many of my family members together
at my childhood church to support and honor my family and our little baby Eastlie.
I was truly humbled to be part of such a great group of people!

It was such a beautiful winter day and fabulous way to kick off the new year!
After church we headed over to Grandma Norma's for a luncheon.
To really top off an already great day,
my fave cousin Lacie and her fam were there!!!!
I seriously was so happy to see them!
They were on their way back from Island Park to Utah
and stopped in to hang out!
Lyndsay, Lacie and I couldn't stop the jokes after seeing this picture.
Who's the super model in the background waving her mane of hair?! lol
We had so much fun chatting and laughing and just enjoying each other's company!
Then it was back to Dad's house to get packed up to head back to Arizona.
But not without a few pictures of the celebrity baby!
She's such a doll!
Now normally I would have had picture perfect photo session done
with Eastlie on her big day.
But instead we're standing in a construction zone house
with all sorts of tarps in the background! lol
I could have easily edited those out
but it just adds to the whole story! haha
We all hung out at Dad's house for another couple of hours
then sadly it was time to load up for the trek home.
It had been such a great day and a great trip that I didn't want it to end.
Luke and his family left first for Idaho Falls
and we left soon after too.
On the road again...for another 12-14 hour night time drive!
Ryan was thrilled when I asked for a festive pic!
lol cmon it's still New Years Day! ;)

Thanks for all the great memories Idaho!
And then like clockwork we all spent the entire next week totally sick.
Um no thanks for that annual gift Mr. Idaho.
We must be crazy that we do this to ourselves each year! ;)
