last day of 2015

Started out the day with some packing and house cleaning...then we headed outside. Ed was helping the neighbor men assemble the boards on the pond for our neighborhood hockey rink. Finally it has been cold enough and 6-7 inches of ice have formed on the pond making it safe! The guys were out there for probably 3 hours getting it ready. While they were working, the kids were playing.

Then we headed in to attempt a nap...wasn't very successful. Then it was time to head to our neighbors house for a little New Years Eve Party! There was an early countdown for the kids at about 845pm, then they dispersed and went home to bed. Eddie was having a rough night, clinging to me and complaining about his stomach, so I took him home about 945p and just stayed with him. Rowan and Ed followed less than an hour later. We weren't planning on staying super late anyway because we are driving to Iowa tomorrow morning, but didn't think it'd be this early. But I didn't want to leave Eddie home alone and not feeling well.

 

Here is Rowan, Gabby and Elaina with their party beverages!

Sydney and Eddie...we learned tonight that Sydney thinks she is going to marry Eddie (they are in the same preschool class) too cute.

Here are all of the neighborhood kids that were present! And this isn't all of them.

Rowan and Eddie's rocking New Year's celebration.
