We spent New Year's Eve at home, as we always have. Many board games were played.
We even broke out some old games the girls hadn't played in years, like this German game called Shwuppdibus with little wooden buses and people that hop on and off at bus stops and towns. After a few more "preschool" games that were entirely chance-based, we moved on to the complex strategy games.
At 10:00 our game was interrupted by loud booms. Our neighbor had visited the Indian Reservation and stocked up on illegal pyrotechnics, and was treating the neighborhood to some arial firework displays. Sparklers were passed around to the all the kids, and after the show the kids ran wild from lawn to lawn in the darkness, squealing and enjoying the special treat of racing through the neighborhood long after bedtime. by 10:30 we were back inside and back to the board game. At 11:55 we turned on the TV to watch the firework show in Seattle, then we headed to bed.
The next morning we celebrated with scissors. It had been almost 3 years since A's last haircut, and it was time again to donate her hair to Locks of Love.
Her new haircut is so cute! After A's cut, my husband cut my hair, although not as severely. I just had 2 or 3 inches off my hair, not enough to donate. I'd cut Little K's hair a few days prior as well, though hers was just a little trim of 3 or 4 inches. A new haircut is a great way to start a new year!
Happy New Year!
