New Year's Eve

We were thrilled to have the Littles stop by for another visit on their return trip and liven up our New Year's Eve. Our kids waited anxiously all day for their arrival and got right down to business playing the second they pulled up. We ate food, played games, did some fireworks, did dance games on the Wii, and counted down the New Year. 

Abi and Amelia trying out the balcony view for fireworks, wearing Harry Potter robes.

Oliver and Calvin weren't too sure about the fireworks so they kept their distance.

They were much more comfortable with the window view.

Our neighbor showed us up with real fireworks. Right over our house. Apparently they put on a pretty great Fourth of July show too.

Elsa fell asleep just before midnight. If we let her sleep, she would be mad she missed it. But if we woke her up, she'd be mad we woke her up. We decided to wake her up and hope for the best. Could have been worse.
