Pre-party preparations

We're having a neighborhood New Year's Eve party tonight.
Sparkle and Glitter wanted to help. They had to work together to carry a bag of ice, and I think that it fell on Sparkle's foot only once.


Here is the $4 bouquet of flowers that Wander got for me last week. They are my favorite - inexpensive, lots of pretty blooms, and they last quite a while.


Here is Wander and his stash of fireworks. He enjoys lighting up the sky.



Grandma and Grandpa took the girls to the local botanical gardens after lunch while Wander and I tidied up the downstairs of the house. Wander basically gathered up all the stuff from downstairs and piled it up in the upstairs hallway and bedroom. We're not orderly people.


Glitter and Sparkle had fun playing in the water.
