New Years Eve in my family has always been about family being together and banging pots and pans! Its one of the traditions that my Grandma Adeline started with my mom and us kids and we all absolutely love it. We all count down. and as the ball drops, we run out on the porch and bang pots and pans while yelling, "Happy New Year!" I have done this every year with Billy (although, he just laughs from the couch) but this year we got all the kids involved and really carried on our tradition with the kids. We had our good friends, Gemma, Justin and Jordyn over along with our family, Noelle & her beautiful new daughter Hadley, and Robbie & Jeremy with their two girls Shelby and Taylor. The kids ran wild and played like crazy and at 12:00 (New York Time) we watched the ball drop and woke up my neighborhood on the porch. My wonderful neighbors across the street even brought their girls out on their porch and joined us in the chaos. It was great fun and the kids LOVED it!
We brought the picnic table into the kitchen so the kids could eat freely together.

Jordyn enjoying riding bikes in the garage. Love her! :)
Noelle & Hadley visiting with us after everyone went home. Hadley and Blake were born one week apart so Noelle and I have had the best time being on maternity leave together. I love these two!
Finally, our first family photo together.
