The party people started arriving at 3pm,

and the rest of the evening was filled with laughter and fizzy drinks and delicious food and friends and sisters.  (And no naps - which meant that Harper slept through dinner, and missed the ball dropping.) This tradition has become my absolute favorite. I love that our group is getting bigger and next year we will need two rooms.  I love that my kids get to spend time with the people who they love the most and are loved right back.  I love that this year I finally got my first new year's kiss from the Mister - actually at midnight. 

So much love.  So much gratitude.  Ring a ding dong, 2016.  We are ready.
