New Years Party

Brandon and I have always dreaded New Year's Eve.  It is just not a holiday we have enjoyed in the past since we have usually been stuck home with little kids or are unable to stay up late.  This year our kids are old enough to celebrate and we had a little family party!  It ended up being a blast!  We had pizza (which is a special treat in this household), sparkling juice in flute glasses, ice cream with candles (where we sang Happy New Year to the world), a family dance to "Celebrate", and did some sparklers and snakes in the backyard.  We ended our night with snacks and watching The King of Egypt as a family.  It was the first time we have actually had a blast on New Years!  It was so much fun to have kids who could understand and celebrate!  We took a lot of time to talk about the past year and highlight the ways that God has blessed our family.  The kids came up with some awesome memories and we all prayed for the upcoming year.  Happy New Year!
