Welcome 2013!

We continued our tradition of celebrating New Year's Eve with the kids. We always eat appetizers for supper and have party hats, silly string and party poppers for our early countdown. There is always still plenty of time to clean up the confetti and silly string and still play games.

We had a dance party after the countdown, then played Mario Kart on the Wii. The Bigs stayed up until Midnight for the first time this year. D stayed up until 10, which is very late for her! 

I can't think of a better way to usher in a new year than being with my family and having fun together. We shared a lot of laughs, made a mess, cleaned it up and shared more laughs. 

Here's to hoping 2013 is healthier and happier than 2012.
