I hope everyone had a fantastic start to the new year! We wanted to go to NYC for new years eve this year since we're so close- but it turns out it's ridiculously expensive to take the train there that night, and we figured parking would be impossible if we drove, so we skipped it and went into Boston instead.
It was pretty freezing outside but we bundled up and it turned out to be a lot of fun. There were dance parties in the street, lots of musicians, and a whole bunch of ice sculptures around the city to look at. My favorites were Jack and the beanstock, and this under the sea one. It's 2 scuba divers with some reef, a shark, and an octopus- It's called "guess who's coming to dinner". Ha ha.
At midnight we watched the fireworks over the ocean. Logan and I didn't have noise makers, so we squeaked along with everyone as best we could.
On our way home around 1 a.m. somehow we got distracted and missed our stop. We ended up at the end of the line, all alone on the train. Ha ha. Sad.
It was a really fun night despite that little detour, which was more amusing than anything.
Also, I have some pictures to post!
A week or so before Christmas I got a call from my Uncle Peter saying he and my Grandma had found some dresses she wore before she married my Grandpa back in the day, still on the hangers, in a trunk she has in her house. And by back in the day I mean around 1950! Anyway, Peter asked if I wanted them and of course I said yes because how cool is that?
So I got them in the mail and I was totally excited to try them on. My grandma is a lot shorter than I am so I was pretty sure they probably wouldn't be very long and I had no idea what size she was back then but oh my gosh...they fit like a glove!
I love them, they are so much fun.
So cute, right? I feel straight out of the 50's.
This other one is adorable, too.
This one is black with gold designs on it. It's so pretty. I took a picture in color so you could see:
A big thank you to all involved, I love that I can wear my grandma's dresses from so long ago.
Happy New Year everyone! As for me, I hope this year is as great as the last. :)

How do you do that with your hair? Seriously!? Between this picture and your last post, I swear you are like the hair styling queen! I think I have like... two different styles. LOL!
You look beautiful! That dress fits you so well.
Thanks guys!
and Sarah- I guess years of practicing! I used to spend hours messing with either my hair or anyone around me who would let me. Poor Rebecca hated it when she was little. ha ha. It's really hard changin' it up now that it's so short!
oh...ahem...I should probably also give Logan major credit for the hair in the last post. He got roped into dying/bleaching/cutting all of those hairstyles for me! It's pretty impressive, actually.
