We celebrated New Year's Eve here in traditional fashion: hors d'oeuvres, games, movies and fun! The three older kids weren't home, so we added three other kids to join in our little party.
They started off with a rousing game of Uno while the appetizers were baking.
The littles didn't get to stay up until midnight, but they drank their sparkling juice early, complete with a toast.
And since their older siblings had friends sleeping over, Marcus, Raelea and Zoe decided to have a "sleep-over" in the girls' room.
We killed an hour or so playing Hedbanz which, despite the silly head bands you have to wear, is a really fun game.
Apparently all of the holiday festivities have taken their toll on Aidan (and Mumford), as this is where I found him this evening.
Happy New Years to a wonderful family!
