This year the kids decided they wanted to try to stay up and watch the Ball Drop on New Year's Eve. 
We weren't sure if they could make it, but to give them a sporting chance we made them takes naps in the afternoon...and they actually did! It was amazing. Both kids slept for 2+ hours in the middle of the day which just goes to show how exhausting the holidays are I guess.
Anyway, my mom and I picked up some sparkly hat and blowers for the occasion along with some sparkling juice. We were celebrating the New Year after all and we wanted to do it up right.

The highlight of the evening was when PSY came out with MC Hammer and sang Gangnam Style. Both kids were dancing around like the crazy children they are. I wish we had our video camera there so we could have captured it and embarrassed them later in life. It was priceless.
The next day, we watched the football games and enjoyed spending time with family we haven't seen in a long time. If anyone doesn't believe that my family bleeds maize and blue...think again. We're raising another generation of super fans.
And I just couldn't resist posting this picture of Cole with my cousin's beautiful little girl. 

It was a great New Year's Eve/Day. I can't wait to see how the kids do next year. I see a family tradition forming.
