Happy New Year!

Last year, Donnie and I remarried and had tons of fun in Vegas on New Year's. This year, we wanted to stay home and celebrate with our girls, so we had our own family New Year's Party. Donnie bought sparkling grape juice and champagne flutes, and I found New Year's hats and confetti cannons at Walmart. Aunt McCaleb came over for a little while, and we used Sydni's cupcake maker (actually, I ended up making the cupcakes in the oven), and decorated them for our big party! Mak and Syd loved the fact that they were able to stay up late to watch the ball drop, and Mak even asked the next morning if we could have another "PAR-DY". Ringing in 2009 with our girls was so much fun!

Naked Girl poses with her cup cakes.

She had been playing dress up, and now she's dancing. A little too much sugar in that one!


McCaleb was very good at decorating cup cakes!

Makenzi was very good at eating them!

McCaleb made a "2009" cupcake set!












Ooh-la-la Daddy!












Mak puts on a show for us!












Everyone has to try on the hat!









Being silly in their new year tiaras.









Letting out the old year....









And welcoming in the new!









"Cheers!" the girls have a glass of champagne (sparkling grape juice)!









Sydni thought the wine glasses were so "fancy"! She wanted her milk in a wine glass the next morning!

You are so brave to let them have those "fancy" glasses. Those are darling pictures. I can't imagine how much fun they had.
Love that pic of Donnie...definitely blackmail material! :)
