New Years Eve

We had just returned from being out of town for a week, so we decided to have a low key New Year's Eve at our house.  The boys and I bought balloons and each hour they got to pop one.  This was a good plan, with intentions of the boys probably making it until 9 or 10, with fun activities with each pop.  Well, being out of town for Christmas break and traveling time zones helped us because the boys somehow last until midnight!  Around 11:30, Granna and I texted, and I told her they were still up but we didn't have our noise makers and party hats out.  Who could let little kids welcome in the new year like that?  She and Opa came right over, showing up just before midnight with goodies to pump the boys up for the new celebration.  They probably didn't hit the sack until 1 am; however, they were also in the habits of sleeping in until 8/9.  Woohoo!

 Balloons with special toys underneath....silly string, glow balloons, sparklers, colors for baths.  Boys ready for shooting silly string!

 They liked to wear the ear muffs from the airshows were have been to for the loud pop.  Granna arriving with the tub for NYE.

Watch the ball drop.  Happy New Year!

 Heading outside to make some noise!
