New Year's Eve

Camden had her friends Sophia and Bella over to spend the night on New Year's Eve.  Earlier in the day we bought a 4-pack of Christmas cookies (90% clearance) to decorate, so the girls each got a cookie (and one for me!) to ice and eat.

At one point in the evening Camden got out her fingernail polish (one of the gifts from Gramma Pat) and had a small salon going.

Then, as it approached midnight, we got out hats, party squawkers, and pots & pans.

They watched the ball drop in Times Square and then celebrated.

Neither of the girls had heard of banging pots &; pans and really loved it...despite the blowing wind that kept taking their hats off.

These girls were loud (banged loud enough to break one of the spoons), but Kevin, sleeping because of work the next day, didn't wake up once!

Back inside, we toast with sparkling grape juice.
