This year we had a fun New Year's Eve celebration with the girls! We celebrated at 6pm, since that was midnight in Paris, and if you know Molly, you know she loves everything Paris!
This party was all about this girls, so Molly had the BEST time, doing everyone's hair and picking out all our outfits. (whoopsies, I forgot to get a picture of me with 20 clips in my hair ;) We all ended up in pink, but she loved being a fashion designer. This Paris dress Grandma gave her for Christmas was perfect!
We had noisemakers and party blowers to start off the celebration!
Molly was very excited to watch the countdown and fireworks at the Eiffel Tower live on the computer!
And Confetti Poppers from the dollar store were a big hit with the girls, and Dad. :)
We had sparkling Grape Juice to Toast the New Year!
Molly couldn't get enough...
Nora tried some...
But wasn't so sure. :)
Molly worked hard all afternoon making decorations. Here is the tablecloth she decorated with markers, stickers and balloons. She was very proud. I just taped a giant piece of white paper to our vinyl table cloth and sent her loose. :)
Indoor Smores for dessert were a big hit!
But the biggest hit of the night was playing glow in the dark hide and seek! We saw this idea over at one of my favorite blogs, Play at Home Mom. Here is a picture of some of the glow sticks hidden in Molly's room. Some in her shoes, under the doll bed, in her plastic drawers! The girls had the BEST time with this. (even though it was super hard to show in a picture)
I got a few glow sticks from the dollar store, and I picked up a ten pack of glow stick bracelets from the grocery store to hid through out the house. Then I let the girls find them as fast as they could and put them in a bucket in the kitchen. This was such a hit, we played for over an hour! Molly loved taking a turn hiding them too.
We had a fantastic time celebrating with Molly and Nora, and since they are only 4 and 1, it was nice to have them still in bed by 8. :)

Such a fun night!! The girls are so cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea. We were home with a sick little girl. Looks like tons of fun.
ReplyDeleteLoving Paris, picking out the family's clothes, liking pink? Molly sounds JUST like Fancy Nancy! Tell Molly my hubbie always says "Real men wear pink" ;)
