New Years Eve

We had fun ringing in the New Year.  Our festivities began that morning when we went to the Children's Museum to do the countdown to 12 noon.  The girls each brought a friend.  The museum was giving away hats and horns.

All the kids got to record the countdown that the museum played.  They made horns at the dinosaur exhibit and at 12 noon, confetti rained down on them!  It was super fun.  I think we have a new tradition!

I loved Brandon's solution to storing his horn!

That evening the celebration continued with the Dockters.  The adults tried a new restaurant, Recess, and then we picked up kids and went back to their house for some more fun.  Lindsay went all out with decorations and special prizes for every hour until the new year.  She even made these cute crackers that when you broke open, Hershey kisses spilled out--that way everyone got kissed at midnight.  Amazingly, all the kids from both families made it to midnight!

 

Another cute craft that Lindsay came up with.

I hope you had a happy new year, too!
