New Years Eve

For this New Years Eve, Derek and I decided to host 4 other neighbor families on our street that all have young kids also. We did an early Netflix countdown and it was pretty much wrapped up around 9pm. Sure I miss getting dressed up and bar hopping, but being pregnant this year it was pretty nice to be in PJ's an on the couch by 10pm!

We had an ice cream bar with toppings for the littles...

My friend Tracy who is also pregnant enjoyed some alcohol free sangria with me...

The mommas!

We decided to also have a balloon drop which the kiddos LOVED!

And then, of course, a full on dance party which was so fun to watch!

Although the dads didn't partake too much in the dancing part...

We also probably took 89 boomerang videos that night...

And my 16th midnight kiss from this stud...

Ady's First Haircut

It was so fun looking back on Drew's first haircut at such a young age and here we are with Ady being 2.5 and just now getting her first one. I considered doing hers when she turned 2 but it was just still not too long and I hated chopping her baby hairs off. Lately, though, it's became hard to brush and I knew it was time. But first, some Mimi and Grandpa snuggles during a movie...

Here's what she looked like before...

She was pretty tentative about the wash so holding Grandpa's hand made her feel better.

Love her grumpy face here...

And then after with just 2ish inches cut off and curled up a bit!

Then we said goodbye to Mimi and Grandpa as they headed to the airport to fly back to KC.

Christmas Day!

Here are a bunch of pictures from Christmas morning at our new home in Texas! Drew asked Santa for a big Ninjago Lego set and got it and Ady asked for princess stuff and got 2 dresses and shoes and wings. Our big gift to them this year was a swingset for the back yard which they both have begged to play on almost daily. And yes, we enjoyed banana bread while we opened.... a long standing tradition from my side of the family. :)

We then headed to Derek's uncles house for a birthday party celebration and to see a bunch of the kiddos' second cousins...

Can Christmas day end any other way besides playing adult games?
