NEW YEARS 2013

craig and i had not gone out on new years since before tagg was born. so when my cousin said she would babysit at the last second, i was a little more than excited. i immediately started thinking up my vision for the dessert table and made reservations at one of our favorite restaurants. 

we enjoyed a late dinner and then we loaded up all the party decorations, photo backdrops, treats and noise makers and headed downtown to my uncle's office building. the entire floor was empty so we had our pick of conference rooms and set everything up. we coaxed my grandma into staying up with us until midnight and im happy she obliged. it wouldnt have been the same without her.

mostly because i suggested we play sardines and i made her be it! here she is, going off to find her hiding place.

k, but we didnt give her enough credit because after an HALF HOUR we started making frantic phone calls to loved ones telling them we might have lost our grandma. she was THAT amazing of a hider!

finally! we found her crouched down, in a dark office, behind a filing cabinet. she showed us!

we played one more round and she took it easy on us. we found her in no time! :)

which was a good thing because it was time to go out on the balcony to catch a peek at the space needle fireworks.

craig (being weird) and me.

then we went back inside to play games. but we really just ended up reading cranium cards and putting "in bed" at the end of every trivia question (mature, i know).

and before we called it a night, we made good use of my photo backdrop. such a great new years!
