New Years Eve party at Add and Bre's was great. This is their first New years party in their new home with friends and family. It was a wear White party in honor of our Brazilians...Alex, Andrew and Sophia...that's how they do it in Brazil on New years. We had a festive photo booth, darling decor, a funny adverb game, a 2014 trivia game which Wayne and I "rocked" at, dancing with the disco ball, sparklers and bubbly to ring in the New Year.....
This is our family year in Review 2014..and looking forward to 2015 post. I always have "homework' for everyone on New years Eve...they may not like, it but they are always glad to have a record of it. I don't have everyone's, but I got a quite a few back.
