New Year's Eve

NYE is pretty mellow for us now that we have our little family.  We do like to spend it at home with our girls.  The grandparents all came over and we just had a simple BBQ.  We got our party hats and blowers out and Makayla was very happy to be celebrating the New Year.  We started early since she's probably not going to make it to midnight but I'm sure she'll try.  My parents went home at around 10pm since they had a far drive home and didn't want to be out with the crazies either.  Plus they never really stay up for it anyways.  Stan & Jennie on the other hand stayed and watch the ball drop with us on TV and then headed home in the thick fog.
All the girls with their party crowns on!  Makayla has two noise makers so she can be extra loud tonight!
My little Mylee was just too cute for her 1st NYE party!  She even participated and was okay with the party crown.

Grandpa Stan is all ready for the celebration but this is probably 3 hours before midnight so we still have a ways to go.
My matching girls!  I love dressing them the same!  So much fun!

Well Happy New Year everyone!  I guess she didn't make it after all!  She fell asleep in our bed tonight watching the count down channel.  Funny that she knew some of the performers like the Jonas Brothers from the Disney Channel and was kind of into watching it.
