New Year's Eve was Bradley's 33rd Birthday. We celebrated like we do every year with a party at our house with a few family members and friends. I have to say that this year I can tell we are getting older because of all the yawning we were doing before 9 o'clock. We usually do just finger foods and cake, but this year my friend, Stacy, brought over a pot of chili to go with our finger foods. The food was fantastic, but we have way too much left over still! We tend to go a bit overboard when we cook for one of these things. We played Catchphrase and Wii and had an enjoyable night. This was Ava's first time staying up until midnight and she made it pretty well. She got a little whiny, but not horribly bad. We kept up the tradition of sparkling grape juice toasts at midnight and Ava had her sippy cup that she toasted with. I think she toasted everyone two or three times. We also always do sparklers at midnight from our front porch. Ava was not scared of them a bit this time and we actually ran out.
So now is a new year full of new days and new adventures! Hope everyone is working on your resolutions/goals and plotting out your next 365 days (well, 362 days now!). Happy New Year!
Ava had to have a Wii Fit too so we made her one from a box.
Ava thinks she is playing Wii.
