Happy New Year!

 

This year we decided to do a count down to welcome in the new year. Each hour leading up to midnight, we let Collin pop a balloon. Inside each balloon was an activity. We played games, did sparklers, Wii Dance, and we were suppose to play glow stick tag, but Collin was a little traumatized by the fireworks we set off earlier that night and refused to go outside :)

I love how Tate thinks he's actually playing.

This is the firework that traumatized Collin. Guess we were a little too close when the loud bang went off.

I thought for sure Collin would make it until midnight and Tate would be out by 10, but it was the exact opposite! Collin passed out around 11:30 and THIS guy...

 

 Made it all the way to 12:30! Party animal!

 At midnight we watched the ball drop and did confetti wands to welcome in the new year!

 Since Collin missed out we let him do it the next morning.

2013 was a great year for our family! We were kinda sad to see it go, but we're very excited to see what 2014 brings.

Happy New Year!
