Today is Sunday, so we started our day with church. I feel like it was the perfect way to end the year, listening to an inspiring sermon from our pastor. Letting everything from 2017 go and praying for blessings and new beginnings for 2018.
The rest of our day was just spending time together as a family. I printed over 300 photos from each month of 2017 yesterday, so Annabella and I picked up a photo album so I could organize, label and fill the pages. It was so sweet to go through month-by-month and see our memories together as a family. All of our adventures, each child's birthday, our 8 year anniversary, all of the holidays. The animals all got a photo a too.
We had a special dinner together and let them have cocoa beforehand. Then we had game night and a dance party with glow bracelets and party blowers. The kids danced so hard and had so much fun. They were all so exhausted and ready for bed by 9:30. We chose a kid NYE countdown on Netflix and brought in the new year together (about 3 hours early). I was watching the kids when they were dancing and laughing, not having a care in the world. I was in awe of how big they are, how funny they are and just that they're mine. It's so hard to believe that we don't have babies anymore. They're so independent and unique. It's truly amazing.
Now they're all tucked in and Jonathan and I are looking forward to a lowkey night of Wii games and trying to stay awake until midnight. Happy New Year!!
