Link Family Rockin' New Years Eve Party!

We decided to have our own little family New Years Eve party to celebrate the arrival of the new year! I told Olive that we were going to do some special things and she was so excited.  I think she called Stephen 10 times on his drive home asking if he was ready for the "End Party".  We worked on special hats and noise makers and blew up a ton of balloons to get ready!  

  

 After supper it was finally time to begin the festivities!  We started out by making special NYE cookies and decorating them. 

 Someone is a sprinkle hoarder...

 Don't they look delicious?!

 After eating a few of her yummy creations, we headed in to do the "dancing girls" as Olive calls it.  It is really Just Dance for Kids on the wii.  She had so much fun!  Half of the time she was really trying to do what they were doing and the other half she was free style!

 This pose at the end of a song was a classic moment...

At midnight (well, when we decided it was midnight, it was more like 9:30) we counted down...

 and Olive went into a balloon induced craze!  She was running around as fast as she could squealing and throwing balloons.  This was the best way I could imagine ringing in the New Year! 

 Wishing you a blessed 2013!
