The Rose Family

We were fortunate enough to drive up to Utah and spend the New Year celebration in sub-30 degree weather. We stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Atkinson. They were nice enough to host all of the Atkinson children and grandchildren (19 in total). We had so much fun sledding, playing Rock Band, staying up until 5AM playing a deadly game of Settlers of Catan (which Rebekah proudly declares winning three times). We also had fun visiting our aunts, uncles and cousins from the Rose family at Uncle Steve's place. We love our family so much, we had a little bit of homesickness when we got home to Arizona!

Oh wait, I can't forget to mention our drive up. Traffic at the Hoover Dam was at a complete standstill for about an hour due to an accident in Boulder City. So Rebekah had a fun idea to do Chinese fire drills in 40-degree weather much to the delight of our children. They wanted to know where the fire was.
