Party Favors

We just returned from a road trip to Pennsylvania to visit friends and family.  We had a wonderful time ringing in the New Year surrounded by so many loved ones.  I was too busy enjoying myself to take many pictures that night, but here’s a couple of the girls with their second cousins, Chloe and Lauren:

Chloe and Lauren are sisters, and when they noticed that Becky is a brunette and Susie is a blonde, Chloe designated Becky as “mine” and Lauren was happy to claim Susie.  But then when I explained that Becky likes her toys to be clean and uncluttered, and Susie likes to mess hers up, the big girls had to switch ownership according to their own habits.  So, through the night, various comparisons based on eating habits and temperament emerged.  It was eventually decided that the little girls each took after both of the big girls, and everyone was happy.  Especially when ice cream was served and Chloe and Lauren’s grandpa let my girls eat most of his mint ice cream cup.  Between all the attention and all the sweets, I think my girls wished it was New Year’s Eve every day!
