New Years in Indy

My dad and I were lucky enough to be able to spend New Years with my extended family. I haven't seen most of them in a couple of years and it was the first time me and all 3 of the Robarge kids were together in a long time. It was such a blessing to end the year and start a new one with family. My dad and I drove to Indiana, and although it was a loooong drive, we had fun! The trip was interesting and consisted of some deep theological conversations as well as jokes and road trip games. This was the first time I got to meet my cousin's kids, Leah and Amanda. The kids were all adorable and I am so thankful that I got to meet them.

We had lots of fun playing Wii Fit Plus. We got everyone involved including Grandma and Grandpa and Amanda. I think Leah would have liked to play if she could stand by herself! :)

We also got to play our traditional football game! Of course we had fun and I especially enjoyed the fact that there was snow on the ground.

We also got to play games including cards and my favorite game and a family tradition, Egyptian Ratscrew!

Hannah was kind enough to teach me how to make snow angels.

We pretty much had fun just hanging out. I loved just being with my family. It felt like we were little kids again and brought back a lot of fond memories. It was sort of surreal because now instead of us kids being the kids, some of the kids have kids of their own!

I had so much fun playing with the girls. Leah has a big cowlick in her hair and so I decided to style it sort of like I used to style mine when I had short hair. Then Hannah and I didn't want to be left out so I did ours too!

And of course we had to take our traditional thumb-sucking picture too.

(yes we know Drew, you didn't get the memo of the thumb! hehe)

The trip to Indy was so much fun! I am so glad that I was able to go and to see everyone. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful and amazing family. I sure hope that I won't have to wait a couple of years to get to see everyone again. Hawaii for Christmas next year right?
