Ringing in the New Year

Super chill New Year's Eve with John and Krista's family. Papa Murphy's pizzas and sparkling cider  along with festive hats and horns and balloons. With 9 kids those blowers sure lasted all of 10 minutes before we had to steal them back again (too much noise!!!) but it was a fun night hanging out and ringing in the new year nice and early at 8:00 pm :)

Livs enjoyed playing with Finn and entertaining him for a bit.

 The darling December "twin" cousins (except how huge is Luke compared to Anna? Only 8 days older too. Oh gosh my enormous boy!)

 These two...

 Little Anna had just had a big surgery on her burned hand (I think just the day before) and had quite the wrap over it to protect her new skin graft. She was such a good sport anyway and very sweet.

cheesy new year's kiss ;)

Oh and earlier that day I got my hair cut —chopped off any remaining color from my ombre last fall. Of course now I want some kind of color again but those appointments take so long and I hate paying for them :) Maybe sometime this spring I'll change it up again.
