new years eve photobooth

Don’t say it…don’t say it…WHO’S READY FOR 2021?! A fresh start is just in view and even though we’ve got a way to go before we’re in the clear pandemic-ly speaking, we’re still gonna celebrate. Honestly, a New Year’s Eve at home is kind of the BEST. Comfort, food, drinks, games, and you’re oh-so-close to your bed when it’s time to crash. But we’re trading in our sweats for something a little more sparkly — still comfortable, we’re not crazy — and pouring something a little more festive.
