Happy New Year!

 

Hello 2012!  A new year, new beginnings, and new memories, love it!  Before I share my word for the year, and talk about the things that I am looking forward to, etc, I wanted to share with you our wild NYE.

I did complete some of what I talked about yesterday and this is the result!  I went with silver, gold, and black.  I usually prefer the more colorful, but this seemed like the perfect change from all the green and red of Christmas. 

I made the bags and added a clock to each.  I had planned on numbering them, but Mike was bringing Alyson back, so time was limited.  And your kidding yourself if you think that Alyson actually lets me get anything done when she’s home – ha!

Changed up the lazy susan a bit and added out “snowballs”, a great idea I got from a scrappy friend of mine (we had a snowball fight for one of our advent activities-I highly recommend them. 

And you are not seeing double.  This photo has the two balloons that I forgot in the first photo, but I liked the first one better.  Lucky you.  You’re welcome:)

I bought the new square marshmallows that are supposed to make it easier to make your smores.  I wasn’t so sure they would, but they did!  I would definitely recommend them.

Alyson all cozy and ready to watch the movie.  It was funny.  We did have to take a break to make some smores.

Someone was VERY excited.  Excuse the hair. 

See, the marshmallow is gooing out of the graham crackers. Yummm.

Yeah, she didn’t watch the move until she finished her two. 

Kanani sat and watched the movie too!

After the movie, we did some mani’s/pedi’s (notice Alyson’s nails).  I also had Alyson fill out her Best of 2011 worksheet.  We then watched some t.v., and I honestly thought that she wouldn’t make it to midnight, but, well, take a look…

I love them!  It truly shows how she is all.the.time.  No kidding.

And then we took this at the end of the night.

Excuse the no make-up, again.  I am on vacation people!

I will be back soon.  Like, tomorrow!  Can’t wait!
