New Years with Old Friends

What better way to ring in the new year than with good friends?  We travelled up to the Denton area to hang out with some of our dearest friends, the Velazquez Family.  As always, they spoiled us rotten with their amazing and generous hospitality.

Nathaniel was very excited to Baby Sophi again- even if she is not as small as Baby 'Rissa, he still calls her Baby Sophi.

And I think X was pretty excited to see Baby 'Rissa, but perhaps not as excited as she who found her new favorite snuggling place.

((I cannot believe I did not take a single pic of Sarah on this trip- she was the most amazing hostess ever))

Then to top it off we also got the opportunity to hang out with some more good friends who live in the area.  Krista spent time snuggling with 'Rissa and building robots with Nate.

John, who has been Daddy's best friend since high school, also came over and hung out with us for awhile. 

And on the 1st we went to the Meador's house and got to meet Georgia for the first time, see how much her brothers have grown, and catch up with Templa and Gavin too!  Jenni and Templa used to work with Mommy and Daddy - so many funny reminiscing stories were shared.  Jenni cooked some delicious, traditional New Years food so we could all start out the New Year right.  And as you can see, Georgia and 'Rissa became fast friends.

We had a great time catching up with everyone.  We are so blessed to know such amazing people!  We could not imagine a better start to 2011!  Thanks everyone, we love you.
