Ohio for New Years

 We got to take a trip up to Ohio after Christmas for New Years. It is always a great time spending

 Uncle Zach is always a favorite playmate!

 Driving through the lights at Coney Island was loads of fun--don't let Jane's face fool ya, she loved it too!

 Kate and Abby always use Grandma's Snoopy stuffed animals when we stay there, and I got a cute picture.

 New Years party with Nathe and Amy's family. The girls LOVED the noise makers of course.

 Some girls sitting around with cute little Carter

Granny took some time to give these 2 drawing lessons. They had a great time learning from her!

Walter cousin Christmas

The SC Walter cousins always draw names to do a gift exchange at Christmas. We love this tradition. 
 This year we also got together with Kenneth and Heather'[s family to decorate Christmas cookies.

December Doings

 We love our family tips to Zesto's for ice cream.

 Cute Emily, eating--wearing a cute hat. And then 2 of Dad's girls snuggled up for a movie night, Emily dead asleep.

Kate's Harry Potter Birthday

 I spent lots of time prepping for this party! But making the wands for them to decorate at the party was one of my favorite tasks. Playing with hot glue is fun!

 Sorting hat cupcakes, Hedwig balloons, and floating candles in the dining hall.

 We ate, played a game to see who could keep their Hedwig in the air longest, decorated wands, sang/ate cupcakes, opened presents, played with sparklers, and had a photo booth. I think she had lots of fun!

Little pony tail
