Olivia had this super cute gold skirt and new york shirt that her grandmother got her. She insisted on wearing the fur vest with her outfit - she is ALL about accessories these days and I've lost all control. I said "Olivia don't you think it's too much?" She took the vest from my hand and shook her head 'no' while putting it on. I can't tell if she's 14 months or 14.
I pulled my camera out and the brand new lens I got for Christmas doesn't work. I didn't bring any other lenses, so of course we got no good pictures.

Don't you worry, we are continuing our streak as worst house guests ever. After the party was over, we finished cleaning up and we're heading to bed, when Dan knocks over their table and completely shatters their giant glass vase. He says the table was falling over, he went to catch it, and 'only' broke the vase instead of the glass table. Tomato tomato.
Brett and Dan had to clean up all the broken glass. No worries though - Brett wore his festive Happy New Year hat - to keep the party going even while vacuuming.
This is when we found Dan's uneaten grapes. Shoulda eaten the grapes. Forced him to eat them. And then he dropped January (lord I hope it was January) on the floor.
We also heard about fantasy Bachelor/Bachelorette. Have you guys heard of this? I really wish we had done it this season but we didn't have our life together. This was four friends - you all get together (no cheating) and look at the girls listed online for 30 seconds per girl and you all take your own notes. You then go in order 'drafting' people for your team. You can't use anything except the notes you had - so hopefully you remember the people well! You go around until each person has drafted 6 people. You get 3 points for the first impression rose. 1 point for a one on one. And 1 point for a rose. Obviously, the further the girls make it, the more points your team gets.
They said their favorite part was coming out of the limo. You are hoping that you picked the right girls just from their bio. And then one of them steps out with a lampshade on their head and you know your team is doomed for the season.
Any of you play? Not that we need a reason to watch the Bachelor .. sounded like a fun twist!
Olivia looks presh! BTW! I meant to tell you in your last post that the 12 grapes tradition we were taught on our honeymoon to London by some touring Guatemalans! We do it now too!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool! I hadn't heard about it until this year!
DeleteIt looks like you had fun on NYE! Olivia looks adorable, fur vest and all! I love you sequin shirt btw. I'm hoping next year we'll have a more eventful nye. That stinks that your new lens didn't work! I have never heard of the grape thing until now. I feel like I live under a rock sometimes lol
ReplyDeleteMailing my new lens to Nikon - if I had kept the box the company would have exchanged it. :( Lesson learned. I hadn't heard about the grape thing until this year.
DeleteOlivia is so cute. I think the vest works too. :) That Bachelor game sounds fabulous! how fun.
ReplyDeleteMy parents wanted to do the game with us - I should have taken them up on it. It's a very interesting season so far!
DeleteHow do you get Olivia to keep her hair bow on without yanking it out? Adalyn will not and cannot keep it on! She always yank it out the moment i put it on. I have given up so her pictures now have no hair bow.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of Bachelor/ Bachelorette fantasy! Gotta do that next time...and I missed the show last night. boo! I'll catch up next week. haha! Glad to know I have someone to talk Bachelor about. lol!
Right now, Olivia is obsessed with bows and wants to wear them. But, before that, our trick was to put it on her, grab her hands and distract her with something super crazy. We'd throw her in the air or something so she forgot we put a bow in. After we did that, we couldn't touch it - or she would remember. We had one shot haha. Yesss Bachelor! I don't think I've ever missed a season.
DeleteOlivia is one stylin' little lady! Love these pictures. For the longest time I was trying to figure out if January was a cat or something, and then I remembered and thought maybe I need more sleep :)
ReplyDeleteI think we all always need more sleep. That made me laugh out loud though. If I do get a cat ever, I'm naming it January.
DeleteWhat a wild NYE!! Olivia is so stylish and her fur vest is floral lined?? I'm envious. I bet you guys are the life of the party :) Fantasy Bachelor sounds like so much fun!! Sorry to hear about your camera lens... hopefully it's returnable or exchangeable!!
ReplyDeleteIt is totally returnable. If you kept the box. In my mad rush of getting rid of all packaging because we had so much crap from Christmas, the box is gone. Lesson learned. I can mail it in for Nikon to fix because it's under warranty. Bummer though.
