New Year's Eve

We had a low-key New Year's, but it was Kinley's first, so I have to document it.  My mom and Bob came back with us after our family Christmas celebration, to spend a few days.  John had to work earlier in the day, and my mom and I ran a few errands.  It was rainy and chilly, so we knew we would be tucked inside for the evening.  Todd came over and we all had fajitas for dinner.  Then Todd and John worked on putting together Kinley's Christmas gift from Gramps and Gran.  The rain let up for a little while and there were plenty of neighbors out doing fireworks.  We went out and watched for a little bit.  I thought the loud noise might bother Kinley, but she didn't seem affected at all.

Back during the summer, a member of my mom and Bob's church made this outfit and tutu for Kinley.  Even though it's a 3-6 month onesie, it has been too big on her until now.  We decided she should dress up to celebrate her first New Year's Eve!  It's a really cute outfit, but there's not a lot of places she could wear it.

Kinley stayed up pretty late, but not all the way until midnight.  We put her down, but stayed up watching the countdown.  We toasted with champagne at midnight and then Todd headed home.  It wasn't a big party, but it was a nice time with family, and that's what we love!
