it's how you live: the party!

we just stayed at the fogarty's and rung in the new year...we are getting "old" and we have a lot of little kids and it's just easier and more relaxed that way.

the kids eating dinner...

sawyer LOVED ellery.
he leaned in a gave her forehead a kiss...i totally missed getting a shot of it...but it was SO cute!

getting the fire going...

QUITE the spread of food! YUM!

we let the kids "toast" with sparkling cider a little before 8 pm.
and put them to bed.
nice plan...except we were dealing with them til 11 pm...we basically played musical beds switching them all around trying to figure out an arrangement that they could fall asleep in...and they, of course, were up at 6:30 am ready to party!
