THREE LITTLE PEOPLE WHO FILL OUR LIFE WITH PURPOSE.

Happy New Year Nana and Papa style

Big parties are not our style. So this year we offered to take Kayla, Nathan and Andrew for an over night. Only almost three and almost one, this annual event is unrecognized, giving Nana and Papa a chance to create from the beginning a tradition to bring in the New Year with our favorite little people. And this allows their Mom and Dad a chance to do what they may want to do. Our simple version was to listen for the grandfather clock to strike a pre bedtime hour, put on hats, blew whistles and spray silly string. While it only lasted a few minutes and certainly the purpose was not understood by our little party attenders, in years to come we will add to the celebration. We built gum drop towers, played magnet puzzles and had a special outing with Papa. Game wars, cooking kid friendly special dinners together, creating fun desserts and toasting drinks and a special project might become part of our style as our little 'guests' add a few more birthday candles and at the same time a few more 'bringing in the new year' celebrations.
