happy new years resolution

happy 2014! so, my one and only new years resolution (apart from the standard exercise more, eat healthier, etc.) is to get back to blogging. i enjoy keeping everyone up to date and writing about the exciting life we lead. plus, believe it or not, i have some family that 
doesn't have facebook (i know - crazy!)

2013 was a big year for the dodge family...we expanded. quade was born in august and is almost 
4 1/2 months old already. he has an awesome personality, loves watching & playing with his big sister, and already has 2 teeth!



we rang in the new year with a fun idea i saw on pinterest (i'm still addicted & love it a little more every day i think!) i lined up balloons that were marked with the hour beginning at 8:00 - inside each balloon was a slip of paper with an activity on it. we began with noise makers at 8, at 9 kennedie got some glow bracelets, next at 10 was a questionnaire that i asked her (it will be fun to look at the answers next year & i plan on doing it each year!), at 11 we did milk shots with sprinkles around the rim (think margarita salt) & at midnight we got out the hats & party poppers! of course we didn't make it until midnight - we were aiming for 10pm (midnight on the east coast) but at about 9:30 kennedie called it....which was fine with me b/c that was the latest i'd been up in a long while!  




 new years morning we celebrated with 2014 pancakes topped with sprinkles!
