New Year's Eve 2015

We've hosted our "Dinner Party Crew" group of friends (affectionately referred to as the DPC) for New Year's Eve since 2011. It started out as 4 couples and has now evolved to include 5 little kiddos under the age of 3 (with a 6th on the way!). Victor's parents also join the festivities, and sometimes Victor's brother joins the crowd, as well. It's a laid back evening at our house, and we always look forward to it every year. One year we had a PJ party, another year we had a photo booth, and every year we have a Just Dance video game competition. Sometimes people spend the night and we have a delicious breakfast in the morning. Regardless of the evening's events, we always have a great time.

This year was no exception. We had way too much food, Max refused to eat (too much excitement), his friend E wouldn't stop eating, and by the time midnight rolled around, everyone was ready to hit the hay (that last hour went by way too slowly!). Here are some photos, most of which include the kiddos. They played so well together!

Max's train set was a hit!

Don't you just love E's outfit?

Waiting for that dang ball to drop. Max went to bed at 10 but E partied till the end!

Happy New Year! Don't worry, I was sipping sparkling grape juice. No champagne for baby!

As I said, we all had a great time! It's so nice to have a low-key evening with the kids! We're very fortunate to have such wonderful friends--and we all love each other's kids like our own! Couldn't think of better company for ringing in the new year!
