Happy New Years

We didn't do anything huge for New Year's Eve this year but Alden had got some glow sticks from Daddy for Christmas and so we let him get those out and then sword fight with them.  Alden had a lot of fun doing this with Grandpa.  It was really fun to watch them play together!  Here are some pictures from our celebration of the New Year.

Alden was so excited to get to play with these!  Here is a video where Grandpa and Alden were poking Grandma (gently).

Here were Grandpa and Alden sword fighting in the study (one of the darker rooms in the house).

My dad started using the glow stick to tickle Alden when he had him trapped.  Alden thought it was a lot of fun.  Here is a video of Alden getting tickled (you can only really see the glow sticks and hear them talking).

Alden enjoyed collecting all the glow sticks.

Alden giving Grandpa a hug goodnight after they were done playing with glow sticks.

Happy New Year's from Alden and me.  It has been a great 2014 but I am really excited for 2015 and all the excitement that it will bring!
