Our New Year's Eve!
Cousin Finn came over for a sleepover on the night before New Year's eve and it was a BLAST! We LOVE when Finn is in town. Thomas and Finn are the best of friends and it's SO cute seeing them play so well together.
On New Year's Eve morning, they made some crowns for celebration of the New Year.
They watched some classic Winnie the Pooh!
That evening, our family made some rain sticks. They ended up taking quite a bit of time hammering each nail into the tubes, but it was fun once they were completed. They turned out awesome.
Joseph wanted nothing to do with his crown.
The kids were really looking forward to the "special sparkling drink" we get to drink on New Years. It was ginger ale and fruit punch mixed together. :) And some Martinellis.
They got bubbles in their bath.
Joseph wondering what all the excitement is about.
Thomas waiting for the popcorn machine to start popping the kernels. Then he realized they actually weren't loud at all. :)
One big happy family with our rats. Yep, I said rats.
This was our goofy photo and one of the rats was crawling on my neck....
....and on Joseph's head.
We're crazy!
A few minutes before 10pm (New Year's in New York), we watched Daddy light off fireworks outside of Emma and Thomas' bedroom. Jo-Jo went to bed already.
Emma had her princess dress on ALL night, along with her crown, my necklace, and her great Grandmother's earrings. She told us she was the "New Year's Queen." After the New Year rang in, she did a little dance with her new rain stick she made. Thomas later joined her.
I sure love them.
