On New Year's Eve we had a big party here at the Riley's! All of Ben's family (minus Justin) were in Utah for Andrew and Kristen's baby- Jaxon's baby blessing. The Thursday before, we went to Claire and Aaron's for dinner with the whole family minus Grant and Cassy's family. That was when we finally met Jaxon! It was fun to see everyone again.

On Saturday (New Year's Eve) they all came over to my parents' house for the Van Noy family Christmas, and then to ring in the New Year. The day was super busy getting ready for everything and I was pooped by the time people started getting here. Ben was able to go shooting with my dad, brother, and sister (Nicholas got a new gun) which he enjoyed very much. When he got home we took Brian out and tried to get a few senior shots of him. Here are some of my favorites.
When we got back in from the cold we enjoyed a yummy dinner of pizza! After that we opened presents! This Christmas my big project was working on these little owl pillow/stuffed animals for the nephews. I found the pattern and tutorial for them online (on pinterest...). They were fun to make and they are really cute! When Garrett opened his, he knew right what to do! He put it on the floor and laid on it! It was really cute.

| This is what Ben and I gave his parents'. It even has our little guy, and Claire and Aaron's little guy! |
 |
| Ben's mom made one of these for all the couples, with them temple they got married in. |
 |
| Cassy made this for our baby! We finally picked a name for him. Captain Douglas Bojangles, or "Doug" (Ben came up with it) |
The rest of the night we just visited, played games, and of course stayed up til midnight to ring in 2012!
