New Year's Eve

Doesn't Grant look excited to be ringing in the new year?
We spent the weekend on Bald Head Island where we rented a house with friends. Eight kids (ages 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, almost 2, 1, & 9mths) and 6 adults. Not a good ratio if you're looking to have a "rockin" new year's eve! We had tons of fun & all of the adults were surprisingly even awake to ring in 2012.
The island is only accessible by boat & golf carts/bikes are the only form of transportation once you get there. They went for lots of golf cart rides...this one must have been really exhausting!
On a walk around the house to collect good sticks for Smores'.
The house was gorgeous, with lots of detailed wood work, beautiful artwork, and many decks & screened in porches. It was a relief to survive the weekend without one of our children leaving their mark on the house!
Love this neat little sleeping porch at the top of the house. We had great weather, but not quite warm enough for an overnight out there.
Grant has his glow stick & is ready to party!
Filson with his beads & glow sticks & party popper in hand.
Nothing beats Smores by the fire
Happy New Year!!
