Texas-London Style!
We celebrated New Year's Eve a little different in our house this year and it was so much fun! Bob had to work New Year's Day so I knew he wouldn't be able to ring in the New Year at midnight. Then the tummy bug visited our house so I figured we probably shouldn't invite people in our house and share it. I was thinking we just wouldn't do anything for New Year's Eve and I was fine with it. Until I had the thought of celebrating a little early in a different time zone! I was so excited and immediately thought Hawaiian Style New Year's Eve. I was thinking grass skirts, tiki torches, Hawaiian chicken, the whole 9 yards. I even googled the time difference and was certain in my crazy head that 8pm our time would be midnight in Hawaii. Good thing I ran the idea by my smarty pants hubby and he informed me that my time zones were a little off. I'm not always the sharpest knife in the drawer. He suggested I go with Texas-London Style. So I told Ella no more grass skirts, now it was fancy dresses and pearls. Luckily she was just as excited (probably even more) about the costume change.
Yesterday morning McKenna and I started making some decorations. She finger painted master pieces as I made some flags.
I love when Bob jumps on board full throttle. I had the flags just hung on the wall and he busted out THE backdrop! Love him.
We snacked on some Fish & Chips as we counted down the New Year.
At 6pm we brought in the New Year Texas-London Style!
We then took tons of pics.
And look who showed up!
We ended the night with some more fish & chips,
followed by some delicious fruit pizza.
We hope everyone had a wonderful New Years Eve!
Happy New Year!!!

Hahahaha when I first read this, I was like Bob is crazy! Hawaii is 4 hours behind, so Allison's right! Then Shea told me I was thinking about it backwards. :( Next year you should have a Hawaiian party at 4am!
