Let’s get this party started! Yeah OK, it’s a little past New Year’s Eve, but after you read this post we are officially back on schedule! Please hold your applause…

Rowan wasn’t sure what was going on, other than everything was the color of money. Grandma & Grandpa F sent the kids these 2009 accessories so we could party in style.

Who is that mystery man behind those high quality plastic glasses?

Why it’s the Scoobfather, sporting the face of the year. He was more interested in watching my flash go off and then bounce across the wall than having his picture taken.

It’s getting close to midnight (in New York)! Let’s go outside and have some fun with the leftover sparklers from July 4th! Woohoo! Brinley was certain she had transformed into Cinderfella’s Fairy Godmother and was granting her every wish. “A wish is a dream your heart makes…” 

Even pyromaniac Ryan had to get into the act.

Fairy Godmother was getting cold, but that didn’t stop her from making those wishes come true! Too bad you didn’t stop by, eh?

Drew got write to work righting his name with the sparkler.

And then he just went crazy!

 

We burned through the sparklers pretty quickly, and it was way too cold to stay outside. Let’s make all kinds of noise with these blowie thingies. That’s one party horn…

Oooh, the competition is getting fierce! Two each!

Brinley goes for three, and it’s good!

Drew wins the blowie thingie tournament with a record-breaking 4 party horns!

Happy (belated) New Year!
