Gingerbread houses, onesies, New Year's eve

SATURDAY-Better late than never with the gingerbread houses, except that I had thrown out all the fun little candies we bought for decorating them.  They had fun and were creative using what we did have though. 

Silly kids, they decided to try on their old newborn onesies and couldn't get them over their heads!
We went to see Ferdinand this afternoon, cute movie, the girls loved it.
 
Today-
Someone's Grandma thought they were 8 1/2  today so they made what were to be half-birthday cakes, then that Grandma realized she was a month off and they aren't 8.5 until January 31st so their cakes turned into New Year's cakes instead. 

Ava and Harper wanted a New Year's Eve fire pit and we planned to shoot off fireworks, too.  It sounded good.  But there weren't any fireworks stands in Castle Rock, then it was so cold out, and we didn't have enough light, we couldn't even tell if our marshmallows were cooked.  When Harper tripped over a rock and skinned her knee we quickly ended it and were all happy to go inside.
We watched the ball drop at 9 and celebrated the new year with apple juice, water and a few games of air hockey and foosball.  Happy 2018!
