New Year's Eve at the beach

The girls had a fairly low-key New Year's Eve. They had driven out to the "beach house" with Mama and Dada earlier in the day, skipping their naps, and so no one was really up for late-night revelry. They had fondue for dinner and then got to watch "Beauty and the Beast." They paused the movie to celebrate the new year at about 7:40 with noisemakers, sparkly (cava for Mama and Dada, sparkling blueberry juice for them), and a family photo, which Kate in her grumpy, nap-deprived state refused to pose for.
