New Year's Eve Eve and New Year's Eve

On December 30th, 2012, New Year's Eve Eve, we went to Valrie's brother Golden Smith's house in Rigby, Idaho to spend a night with much of Valrie's family and to play games.  The following day on New Year's Eve, December 31st, 2012, we clebrated with a large gathering of Valrie's family and some of their friends for a party and games at the "building" at her parent's place in Idaho Falls, Idaho.  Here are some of the pictures from these two nights.  Cody's camera kept dying and shutting off inexplicably while we were there so we did not get as many pictures as we had wanted.

 

 The Golden and Shelby Smith snow family.  I cannot remember who all the snow people were in their family.  But I believe that Shelby Smith is represented by the taller snowman that looks like it is about to fall over and crush its children.
