Ever since Savannah was born Oscar and I have spent New Years Eve at home and more than likely sound asleep at midnight. This year I decided that just because we stay home with the kids doesn't mean that we still can't celebrate with a fancy party. And now that Savannah is getting older and she understands things more, the idea of a fancy party was right up her alley. I say "fancy party" but really is was just the four of us decked out in fancy clothes, aka Savannah's every day attire.
Last week we went to the party store and I let her go to town picking out NYE decorations----streamers, noise makers, hats, plates, table decorations, and even a Times Square backdrop. As soon as Christmas was over she couldn't wait to decorate and get ready for our party.
At 5:00 on New Year's Eve we were all dressed and ready to party. We munched on yummy finger foods, lit some sparklers, popped some confetti bombs and waited for the countdown with London. At 7:00 we rang in the new year watching fireworks shown from various European cities. It was such a fun night and one of the best parts was that we were all in bed sleeping at midnight. I'm hoping to continue this new tradition of our New Year's Fancy Party for many years to come.....at least until Savannah decides she's too old and too cool to spend NYE with her parents :)

I can't wait to see what all 2014 has in store for our little family. Here's hoping for health, happiness, and lots of love.
