Our New Year's Eve started off with somebody wearing his new pirate gear....
and somebody else knee deep in Lego's!
It was also Petey's very first birthday. We think anyway. On his paperwork there were two different dates, one of them was Dec. 31st. We decided to pick that one since it would be easiest to remember. We even lit a candle and sang the Happy Birthday song to him. And yes, he even got a small piece to eat. It was funny though... some frosting got stuck on his front teeth and he had a heck of a time getting it off!! Too funny, he had green teeth for all of 10 seconds!
Finally the kids are getting old enough to play some family games together. While we played Connor enjoyed his first Root Beer Float. The verdict? He thought it was DELICIOUS!
We got out some party accessories in preparation for the midnight festivities.
All bundled up in robes.. it was super cold outside last night! (Yes, I know we are wimps when it comes to cold.. but it was in the 30's here. Brrrr...)
Getting ready for some fireworks!
Sparklers are always so much fun.
As you can see, Connor is quite the active little guy. He kept calling his sparkler his "engine" and was running all around. They were both fun to watch.
We had a couple of loud ones, Connor didn't find enjoyment in those ones. Just like his Mommy.
We decided to do the firework part a little early, around 9:00 because it was becoming clear that Connor was probably not going to make it to midnight. We figured we could help the East Coast celebrate from Arizona! He did make it up to 11:00 and then he just had it. He fell asleep within about 3 minutes. Until then we did have a super fun time playing Sorry Spin, eating birthday cake, and drinking Root Beer Floats. Daryle, Travis and I made it all the way to midnight to ring in the new year. I can't believe my boys are growing up. Too fast if you ask me! In this next year Travis will turn 10 and Connor will turn 5. Then Connor will be in Kindergarten!! Really??
How in the world did that happen??
Happy 2013 to you and yours, may it be your best year yet!

Petey is giant!
I love sparklers. My goal is to have sparkler parties for New Year's and the 4th of July. :)
Happy New Year!
