New Years Eve Countdown 'till Noon.

Today at our Science Museum they had a New Years Eve party. There were crafts for the kids to make, cookies, Sprite in toasting glasses, and at 12:00 noon, a huge balloon drop. 

It was pretty crazy busy, but still fun. 

The best part is that now I have zero guilt about not letting the kiddos stay up until midnight. To be fair, I had almost zero guilt before this. We tried to let Connor stay up last year and he made it until 10:15 and then fell asleep on his dad's lap. 

Here are a few pictures from the event. 

 Waiting for noon. 

 Connor thinking about 1000 balloons dropping from the sky. 

 10, 9, 8 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

 The dropping of the balloons. 

 Then the popping of the balloons commenced, at which point we had to leave. Sophia wasn't a big fan of that. Connor and Sophia each rescued a balloon to take home.
