Ring in the New Year

Being the parents of a young child, New Years Eve does not leave you with many choices. You can either 1) pay a large amount for a babysitter in order for you to come home late from a party and then wake up way too early the next morning, 2) stay home alone, or 3) host a party for 20 of your friends. We decided that hosting a child friendly party would be the most memorable, as you can see from the following pictures...

Olivia's good friend Kellan sipping on his sparkling cider. His mother, Nicola, was forced to cut him off after 3 glasses!

Joe opted to moonlight on New Years, so a full day working plus a house full of active kids really put him in a party mood! ;) (He's not going to like me posting this picture)

On a different subject, Kate had her 20 week sonogram today and Noodle is looking very healthy! The baby is definitely a boy (the "turtle sign" was clearly visible) and everything looks to be on target. The name debate is in full force right now, so stay tuned for that update. We leave for our Turks & Caicos vacation next week and will post again on the blog after we return!
