Welcome 2012!

Yay for a NEW YEAR!
Hope everyone brought in the New Year with excitement!

We had a great New Year's Eve! We wanted to just hang out at home with our cute boys while bringing in 2012!
I planned some awesome stuff to go with our 6 hour countdown to the new year!

I got some sweet printables off of the interenet and used them for decorations! We also went to the party store for some much needed supplies....like BALLOONS!
While Traceon was taking a nap Aydan helped me put up our decorations and make cupcakes (our favorite treat for celebrating!)
We got everything ready before 6 o' clock (when our countdown was to begin!)
We had 6 balloons filled with a surprise and a fun activity to do that hour. Starting at 6 and ending at 11 we popped a balloon every hour!

My 2 New Year's Eve buddies!

We are so happy that we have Justin back and were able to spend this New Year's Eve with him all to ourselves!
Yay for 2012! What will you bring for us this year?!


While we were waiting for the clock to turn 6 so that we could pop our 1st balloon, Justin had the boys do some push-ups!
Then we made silly faces, because we were just SO EXCITED!




OUR 6 o' clock BALLOON!
POP!
Aydan and Traceon both got $1 to put in their piggy banks! Our fun activity was to
EAT YUMMY DINNER!

We had some of our family's favorites, 7 layer bean dip, Shrimp Coctail, Fruits, Veggies, French Onion Dip w/ Chips, and POP!
We had fun eating with our fingers and sippin' on some bubbly in our special flutes!


Cheers Bro!
Our 7 o' clock BALLOON!
Activity was to PAINT WITH SHAVING CREAM!
Aunt Jen came over to munch on some dinner and hang for a little bit!


Our 8 o' clock BALLOON!

Activity was to play BALLOON VOLLEYBALL!

Our 9 o' clock BALLOON!

Activity was to play our NEW VIDEO GAME!

Our 10 o' clock BALLOON!

Activity was to DANCE LIKE IT WAS 1999!
Our 11 o' clock BALLOON!
Activity was to talk about our favorite memories from 2011, and get ready to bring in 2012!



HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We popped our poppers, sprayed our silly string, and did cheers to celebrate the new year!







Poor Trace was tired, and thought we were weird popping, and yelling!

I tried to get him to cheers with me....LOOK AT THAT FACE! Ha! Ha!

We had a great New Year's Eve! I love my family so much! I'm so glad I have ALL OF MY BOYS!
Happy 2012 everyone!


I put together some collages of my TOP 11 memories of 2011!
It was a dang good year!
