happy new year

saturday night we had our (almost) annual new years eve sleepover at our friends liz and joe's. i say "almost" annual because we skipped last year because their son max was born just a couple weeks before new years. this was the first time we celebrated with three kiddos age 3 and under. it was wild and fun. yeah, that's right, i said wild :) first we made pesto pizza while hanging out with the kids. 

here's max and azalea playing with play dough. max thought it was food and azalea didn't really know what to do with it, so that was entertaining.

 here's azalea and jake rolling around on the floor. they did this for most of the night. ha!

azalea went to sleep in a pack n play in the basement around 8:00 without a peep. you'd think i'd be used to her ability to sleep anywhere, but it still amazes me. next we made potstickers. yum!

thatcher played angry birds for quite a while with jake. and of course, max wanted in on the action.

after all the kids went to bed, we made some brownies and played apples to apples. we actually managed to stay up til midnight (12:30 even!). i was pretty proud of myself. i attribute it to the fact that we didn't watch a movie, which usually makes me fall asleep no matter how good it is. we had a great time with them and look forward to doing this many years in the future!
