New Years Eve in Michigan

First NYE with a baby, what to do? Get together with our fabulous friends who also have babes and head up to our future home state! We spent NYE 2012 visiting our soon-to-be neighbors, the Stowell family, with the Labelles. With five kids under the age of two and a plethora of packnplays and diapers, we somehow made it work! We rang in the new year with our kiddos in hand (some wide-eyed and bushy tailed might I add... at midnight), a (half-full) glass of wine, and pj's on. I wouldn't have had it any other way. Such a fun weekend with wonderful people! Thanks again to Carrie and Matt for hosting such chaos, and for showing us around. Lots to look forward to!

The beginning of the craziness. 
Hey Jack!
Don't be fooled by what looks like a crazy party... haha
Hankster.. getting so big!
Mamas
Zach and Matt 
Dad and little Miss Lyla 
Our wonderful host
Such a strong little guy! 
Grace's potential bed for the night. Unfortunately she was too long! We've got a tall lady on or hands :)
Just noticed the weather warning in the background...  yikes!
Renata, Carrie and I - love you girls! 
Ready for 2012 :) 
Grace and Hank - September 2011 babes

The boys may have been hiding Zach's keys at this point. Took the majority of the day, but eventually
found them in the trunk of the tricycle. Very clever!
Grace and her BFF, Lyla
We've got some long babes!  

Boys leaving to pick up food while we hold down the fort.
Jack and Josh reunited!  
Josh looks like he's thinking " Lady, leave me alone or you'll get a truck in your face!" Haha 

Fun in the basement bumpo. 
We lured the boys in with Zach going first. A bit too heavy.....
But it worked!
Josh is in with the help of his Dad!
New game created by throwing the boys into the massive love sack! Way too much fun.





Too cute.
Haha love this photo.
All of the 2011 babes hanging out in Hank's gym. 

At first it was just Grace on Dad... 
Then Jack thought it'd be fun to join in! Haha.
Making sure Zach knows who's boss. 
Grace is getting confused...
"Here, try this truck Zach!" :)
Kisses from Dad for Lyla.
