Announcement: Ella FINALLY said her name!!! We're enjoying her talking!

Our New Years Eve party is a tradition we LOVE!! Since I was little we've always made paper newspaper hats and shredded newspaper into long strips. At mid-night (or a designated hour prior to, when we need the kids to go to bed) we throw the newspaper in the air screaming Happy New Year! and having a ton of fun. It's an easy cleanup and ton's of fun!

First we had the party for the girls.....
