Happy New Year!

Carl, Evan, and I celebrated the New Year at home this year. We ordered Chinese food and had a small family party. Although Evan did not make it to midnight, he enjoyed pretending to welcome in the new year by helping us count backwards, shaking a noise maker, and yelling, "Happy New Year!"

Evan loved yelling, "Happy New Year!"



Carl and I stayed up to welcome in the new year.




During Evan's bath time on New Year's Eve, we let him use his bathtub paints for the first time. Carl showed Evan what to do by painting the letter E on the tiles. Evan got very excited and started painting the tiles. Later on he stopped to admire his work. He pointed at the letter E that Carl made and said, "E!" I thought it was a good guess and so did Carl. We then painted other letters on the tiles. He got most of them right! We couldn't believe it! We are proud of our little boy!
