Happy New Year!

Well, we've all made it through to the New Year pretty much unscathed. It was the first time in years that I was off almost the entire holiday with the kids - well, with Hannah since the older two no longer care if I'm home (not publically at least!)


As if we hadn't eaten enough, we had a baptism between Christmas and New Year! Colton Timothy was baptized on December 27th. Here is a picture of all of the boys. I'm sure he will grow up quickly with the twins dragging him around everywhere. They are a lot of fun - and a nice diversion from, and for, the older cousins.
We took our yearly "cousin" picture at my dad's on Christmas Eve. It is amazing to see how much everyone has grown. Steve, who is the oldest at 20 is no longer obviously the "big kid" having now been caught up to by his 6'3" 15 year old cousin Robby. So, we have 13 Goodyear cousins, 20, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 7, 5,5,and 1 month. (and this is only half of the cousins for my children - Dave has 18 on his side of the family, ranging in ages from 24-5).
I love big families!
