And Another Great Year Comes to an End

We decided to have a party at our house this year for New Year's Eve. Our house is pretty small, but we were able to have quite a few people come over to celebrate with us. We had fun playing games and eating yummy food until we decided it was time for the fireworks.

Brad drove all the way to Evanston to get the good fireworks. We had a bunch of Bottle Rockets so we decided  to see who had the best shot. The boys set up some targets in our garden and then we had fun trying to light them on fire. We also shot off some fun ones into the sky. It was way fun to watch.

We went back inside to play a few more games, and then we watched the ball drop. Lily decided to wake up at about 11:45 so we let her stay up for her first New Year. We had a really hard time getting her to go back to sleep, but it was still such a fun night with our friends.

It has been such a great year! Lily is the most amazing baby, and we are so excited for her to grow up. This next year is going to be so much fun, and we can't wait for all of our new adventures with our sweet Lily Bug.
