Sweet Skyler has slept through three New Years celebrations, but her forth one was quite the opposite. Our party girl witnessed (on tellie) the most prominent celebrations in the country......the dropping of the beautiful Waterford Crystal Ball in Times Square! We enjoyed ringing in the new year at The Knowles' party, a.k.a Clayton's house!
We arrived around 8:30 and Clayton & Skyler quickly became attached to the hip! They've been buddies since birth.
The only time the two were apart was when Skyler wanted to hold Clayton's baby sister, Alison. Our Princess adores little babies, as you can see in this next picture.
We danced, ate, played with sparklers and enjoyed the elaborate neighborhood firework display. It really was amazing and I felt like we were in downtown Lakeland. The fireworks were that great!
With less than one minute left in 2012, we all ran inside to watch the ball drop, along with an estimated One Billion television viewers! I explained to Sky about the New York City tradition and how this year's ball panels feature doves etched into the crystal to symbolize peace since 2012 was such a tumultuous year.
Let the count down begin.....
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Happy New Year!!!
Our family enjoyed welcoming in 2013 with Brian, Rebecca, Clayton and Alison Knowles. We wish you all a healthy and prosperous New Year! Thanks for keeping up with our precious daughter. I look forward to sharing more new adventures during 2013.
