We rang in the New Year with our friends, the Fearing family!  The Kelly family was home sick this year, but we’ll do it again! 

 

We dog sat Mrs. Paula’s dog, Patriot (we called him Patriot Pond while he was here), for 6 days over the holidays.  He was such a sweet little buddy; We already miss him a lot!  The big girls wanted to have a PJ party at the Ponds this year, so that’s what we did!  Worked for me, but Rose refused to wear pjs.  Go figure, lol!

Other than my two favorite colors together, navy and black (hahaha), I love this sweet picture! 

New Year’s Eve just wouldn’t be the same without M&Ms, twizzlers, champagne, and sparkling grape juice!  Jon added Almond Joys to the mix.  We’ll see if they make it into the traditional party snacks next year!   

Anna Kate and Landon have always been such sweet little buddies!  Landon gave all the Pond girls a New Year’s kiss on the cheek!

Sparkler time!  Patriot wanted to see what was going on but headed back inside pretty quickly!  Did I mention he’s a really smart dog?  Well, he is!

Although it was super cold outside, the kids had a blast doing sparklers!

 

Love ringing in the new year with these guys!
