New Year's Eve

We let Dallin stay up this year till midnight. He was way excited. He spent most of the night making confetti out of paper. And there was no waiting till midnight to throw it either. We threw it quite a lot between 10 and 12. 

Also, we made a costume. We have been having a Harry Potter marathon this past week, so Dallin has been having fun playing wizard, even insisting people at church call him Harry. Dallin and I decided he needed a wand, so we made one from this and a bit of this tutorial. Russ had an old pair of glasses he has not worn since before we were married that he removed the lenses from, and we were set. Dallin played Harry Potter all day, even at the grocery store.

Not bad for paper, hot glue, and paint, huh? Dallin wants me to make more so both Mom and Dad can have one too. He has been making Russ use a chop stick.

Confetti!!! And movies. "The animal is inside out.....And it exploded." Can anyone name that movie?

I also so a cute idea to interview your kids every New Year. Since Dallin loved to make videos, he was all for it. Enjoy!

Dallin made it all the way to midnight, though it was close a couple of times. When I tucked him in bed he wanted me to lay by him. It was literally 2 minutes and he was asleep. He was up at 8 am. We will see how long he makes it tonight. I hope he doesn't crash before 7pm.
