Happy 2018!!!!

We spent the day hanging out together & prepping to celebrate Margaux's birthday with friends/family. Seemed easiest to celebrate on New Years Eve since Margaux requested to see a movie the night of her actual birthday. So we decorated, ordered a cake & celebrated!

Happy 9th BRRR...thday Margaux! So fitting with the freezing wind chills.

 She requested a cookie cake for dessert & we all sang happy birthday after everyone had dinner. 

 We ended up feeding the kids home made mac & cheese earlier in the evening & making a steak/crab dinner for the adults a little later. The kids were awesome & stayed downstairs for hours entertaining themselves while the adults had a quiet dinner. We had quite the crew here, the kids had a blast. We played games together after dinner & Travis lit off some impressive fireworks at midnight. -20 windchill so we all ran in as soon as they were done for a New Years toast.

Love these kiddos.

Not long after midnight I found Maeve curled up on the chair fast asleep. Late night or her, I am not sure she's ever seen midnight before!

 The last crew standing... I think this bunch was up until well after 1:00am. Also the latest Marin & Margaux had ever been up. Worth it, we had so much fun.

 Pretty fun birthday celebration for Margaux too! It's been a few years since we've celebrated on NYE. She was happy & so were we. One day of rest before she turns nine years old, we're all napping & going to be early tonight. Back to school tomorrow.

Happy New Year!!! xoxo
