Happy New Year!

The girls and I made some fun noisemakers for the occasion. We cut semicircles of tagboard, filled them with lentils and placed feathers in between the edges and stapled them together. Then we covered the whole thing with pieces of tissue paper.

The entire time we made them Jia kept saying, "These are so posh!" and Willa kept throwing bunches of feathers around the room. Clean up was more than I imagined!

The girls love their noisemakers. They dance with them, play peek-a-boo and pretend they are butterflies.

We are preparing for fondue tonight. We also made some resolutions. Jia resolved to keep her room clean. Willa resolved to stop surfing on the back of her rocking chair while touching the ceiling and then flinging herself into her crib (or maybe that is my resolution for her?)

Happy New Year!
