We got the kiddos together for a 'party' at lunchtime after learning from last year when my girl when bat sh*t cray cray and wouldn't go to bed after too much lemonade and ice cream. We thought a NYE party in our house from 12:30pm - 1:30pm would be the best option. We had it all from comedy wigs, to hilarious (ahem) squeaky balloons to scotch eggs. Obviously most of the decorations were from the joy that is Poundland. So see with your eyes how we did New Year. Toddler Style...
Comedy glasses and wig from Poundland. Am envious they both look FAR better than I did!
Paper plate, plastic knife and fork, serviettes from Poundland,
with little treats in the form of comedy glasses, balloons, party poppers also from Poundland
Jam Jar glass from Amazon, striped paper straws from Home Bargains
Oh she looks naughty here but I love it!
Brad and Angelina. Brummy Style. God we look ruddy awful
We did a similar thing but went out for dinner with friends and their boys too. It was lovely to still feel like we were still doing something!
