Ringing in the New Year

For the past 6 or 7 years (except for 2011), we've celebrated New Year's Eve with the same group of friends.  Before we all had kids, we went out to dinner and celebrated well into the morning hours.  Now that there are children involved, we've been celebrating at the Beld's house over potluck dinners and the midnight celebration that's live on the east coast.

This year was another great celebration, with a couple of additions to the group.  Leila and her new friend, Charlie McMahon, fit right in and hung in there with the big kids until it was time to head home.  We had great food and drinks, and even an impromptu Nutcracker performance from the kids.  Kendall isn't as into dance as some of the other girls, but she still got up and performed!

We had an amazing 2012, but we're all hoping that 2013 is even better!!

All partied out.  Believe it or not, no one told Kendall how to pose.  She thought of this one all on her own.

Even Leila was up until midnight!!
