ringing in the New Year with the LaRose and Hanks families.
Vic and Ronnie (my grandmother) have always been great buddies.
Can you believe she just celebrated her 97th Birthday?!
It may look like all we did was stand around and take family pictures.
But, actually, we had great fun too.
We made home-made pizza pies.
We played games.
Lexi and Courtney serenaded us.
We had some hard core ping pong and foosball match ups in the basement.
And we had all the essential for toasting the new year.
Ronnie is a woman of many talents, but taking a picture with an iPhone
doesn't happen to be one of them.
That, or she's sending a strong message to the men in the family
Three competitive ladies battling it out at Twister
Look who learned to loom.
He spent much of the plane ride home making bracelets for Lexi
(when she wasn't busy getting sick all over him!)
We had a pretend countdown and celebrated earlier in the evening,
champagne glasses and all,
but Lexi couldn't fall asleep and rejoined the party.
5's not too young to watch the ball drop, is it?!
Her very first sleep over.
Fitting that it was with her beloved Cece.
We had a wonderful visit back up North and were thrilled
that despite it being a bit exhausting,
we got to see so many of the faces we love most.
The trip home was not seamless, however.
Lexi got sick right on Vic…twice!
Our plane was delayed three hours.
Ryleigh basically missed her nap and was oh so fussy.
But...we made it back before the big snow storm that closed airports for days.
Look for the silver lining whenever possible :)
