Our last day of 2011...

was filled with a little bit of outside play time...



Our snow-less grass and sidewalks are still being used for bike riding and ball playing on this last day of December.

At 12:00 p.m., our family had our own "countdown til 12."
The kids celebrated by shooting silly string into the air and running around the house yelling "Happy New Year!"


Fun, but quite messy... luckily, we had three good little helpers on clean-up duty!


Jason and I decided to take the kids to the Kids' New Year's at the La Crosse Center in the afternoon. There was face painting, games, inflateable bounce houses and slides, balloon animals, dance performances and songs for the kids.





Happy New Year!!
