Happy NYE!

We had a nice wonderful NYE spent with a few groups of friends. We started our night by going over to some new friends from Nico's tball team. We hung out with them for a few hours, watched football, and ate way too much food. David impressed everyone by bringing over a homemade pasta dish that he quickly and casually whipped up.

Natalie dressed up for the occasion in her party dress.

My world.

Trouble right here - Nico with his two baseball buddies.

 

After a couple hours, we came back to our place to shoot off some fireworks with our next door neighbors and some other close friends here in the neighborhood. The kids watched the fireworks and were so amazed by the loud noises and lights. We had a pretty good little display going, especially considering it was just right there in front of the house. Natalie was a champ and slept well so that we could enjoy ourselves out there.

 

Time got away from us, and before we knew it, it was 11:00! That meant that Nico could watch the ten second countdown for NYE in New York. He felt pretty cool to count down and share the moment of exclaiming, Happy New Year!

 

I actually stayed up until midnight as well. I would have lost that bet.

 

 

2016 was the best year yet. Cheers to what 2017 will bring to top it!
