New Year's Eve - Last post from 2014!

New Year's Eve was SO MUCH FUN!  We got together with some of our closest friends for some much needed adult time, while our girls had a ball with their babysitter.

On New Year's Eve morning, Ryan had to work so the girls and I made some desserts and ran some errands, then came home and Brynn wanted to "decorate" for her "party".  She was really excited about having a special babysitter for the night,  We had to use a purple tablecloth and leftover birthday plates...and we couldn't forget the sparkly sequin confetti and the poppers!

I got some "New Year's Eve" crowns for our party, and Brynn saw this crown at Wal-Mart...I didn't have the heart to explain that it didn't say "Happy New Year's" because she was so excited about it!  HA!

I can't remember what this envelope was supposed to say...maybe "Happy New Year's?"  LOL!

When Ryan got home from work someone had given him this hat for the girls...

We finished getting ready and then the babysitter came over around 5:30.  We headed to dinner with friends and then to my sister-in-law's house for games and fun!

We had SUCH a fun night of playing games and hanging out with our friends...we played some hilarious games and had SUCH a good time.  Much needed adult/friend time!  So thankful for our crew!

We had told Brynn that she could stay up late with the babysitters, and that she could just sleep in our room when we got home.  When we got back around 1, the babysitter had moved Brynn into our bed and she was ZONKED.  They said she made it until 11:17!  HA!

We all got up late the next day and celebrated with a HUGE bubble bath!

2014 was an amazing eventful year!  Emory went from a 3 month old newborn in January 2014 to a walking, jabbering toddler!  Brynn went from a 2 1/2 year old to an almost 4 year old!  We watched our new house go from a big hole in the ground, to our forever home.  Ryan continued to flourish in his job at Saint Francis, and I continued to work part-time at our church preschool and stay home with our girls, and began to do cookies as a side job.   We are so excited about what 2015 will bring.  We look forward to continuing to settle in to our new home, watch our girls learn and grow, and make special memories with our family and friends.  We are so thankful for each of you and pray you have a New Year full of God's blessings!  HAPPY NEW YEAR!
