We started NYE at the church building. We spent time with our church family singing and praying together. It was very uplifting. After that, we played games and tried to keep each other up until at least 10 pm. We played a game called Telestrations. If you haven't played it, you should. It's funny!
We came home about 10:30 and Shawn did a fireworks display for us at the end of the driveway.
Elle and Levi were brave enough to try sparklers and I'm happy to say, we didn't have any burns this year.
After that we went through our Good News jar from 2016. This is our second year to do it and we loved it once again! To talk about so many good memories that we've forgotten about is such a happy way to send off one year and prepare for a new one!
Last picture of 2016! Somehow Shawn and I accidentally made it to midnight without meaning to. I had totally planned on going to bed way before midnight, but with all the fireworks and good news jar, it took us longer than expected. Sunday.Was.Brutal. But it was also the first day of a new year and this always brings new hope!
