Claire and Lachlan in the New Year spirit

What is mom putting on my brother’s face?

I tapped my New Year’s tiara stash to find something for baby Claire to wear, but I didn’t have any glitter-encrusted bowler hats or other dude-appropriate finery for baby Lachie, so I made him custom “2009″ glasses to suit his wee face. I used sparkly blue pipe cleaners, and am still surprised my son didn’t just rip these off his face.

It didn’t occur to me to get out noisemakers this year.
