Noon Year’s Eve at Marbles

Sean and I started our New Year’s celebration a little earlier this year by taking the kids down to Marbles for their Noon Year’s Eve party.  We all enjoyed it, so I’m sure we’ll do it again!  Maybe we’ll even stay out for the early acorn drop at First Night Raleigh next year!

They had all the typical NYE events – a ball drop countdown…

Followed by tons of confetti…

Jackson especially loved all the confetti! It was tossed down by all the folks upstairs and it just kept falling and falling!   DSC_0012

Kate wasn’t quite sure what to think about all the commotion.  She just wanted to get down and play! DSC_0013

And play, she did!  She had the BEST time!  I wondered how she would like the play areas at Marbles since she’s only 1.  She wasn’t intimidated by the bigger kids at all!  She loved it and was all over the place!

The mail truck has always been one of Jackson’s favorite exhibits.

This picture here cracks me up.  I had just told Jackson to hold Kate’s hand and take her with him to the fire truck, but as you can see, she totally took control.  That’s my girl!  ;-) DSC_0029

Of course a trip to Marbles wouldn’t be complete without a little play on the pirate ship.  DSC_0041

Kate wanted to climb the ladder to the top of the ship soooo bad, but it was full of bigger kids and she was just in the way.  So she finally decided to entertain herself by stowing away in the crates.
