New Year's In a Nutshell...

I have gotten a little behind on my blog... as the past few weeks have been interesting for us. So... better late that never, here are some pictures from New Years! Hunter came over for a sleepover with Jacob the night before New Year's Eve. They had a blast... the first friend sleepover for both of them. The girls had a sleepover together in Jessica's room... Jamie felt like such a big girl!



On New Year's Eve... we headed over to the park with a few friends to celebrate an early New Year's with a "balloon drop" at noon... the kids had fun, except Jamie b/c her balloon got dirty, she was tired, and life just wasn't going her way at that moment. Along with my kids... Hunter and Reagan (trying to hide from my camera!) are in this group of pictures...

After dinner, Hunter and his mom & dad joined us for a parade thru the neighborhood. Mom & Jim came to celebrate with us, also! After our parade, we headed to Hunter's house to break the pinata! I think the pinata may have to be a New Year's tradition for us now... the kids had a blast and Jacob was happy to exchange all of his candy for skittles at home. The twins went to bed at their usual time, but Jessica & Jaycie made it until midnight for the first time while we watched the ball drop and toasted in the New Year! (James got in a nap until 11:55 pm...) HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

What fun! My girls are also now getting into the "sleepover circuit" and it brings back memories. I'm still in touch with a lot of the girls with whom I had sleepover parties when I was a kid. Nothing was more fun than crashing in my sleeping bag with a room full of my favorite friends. Even then, we had figured out the fun in talking about EVERYTHING deep into the night.:)
