Happy Noon Years Eve

We rang in 2017 at 12 p.m. (noon) again this year with friends from the moms club here in town.  Such a wonderful way to celebrate the New Year. Brunch with friends and home for a 1 p.m. nap!

We have a fun sleepover at the Ducote's  on the 29th.  This was Joseph & Cole in the morning.

Oh. my. gosh. finners.  You are so cute!

Finn getting ready to be baptized - he was supposed to be baptized on the beach but it was rainy all morning so Lindsay & Paul opted to do it at Nani & Poppa's instead.  Worked out perfectly! 

The same woman who officiated their marriage baptized Finn which was pretty special.
