Beth: Pink and the Aurora

 Later on New Year's Eve, the Northern Lights shone over Acorn.

 I invited Kayla over to buy some things from Ellie's RV. Her RV is set up like a cafe - and includes things like a coffee machine and this bread basket. Surprisingly, I don't think I've seen this one even in Happy Home Designer!

 I played again before midnight to join the New Year countdown.

 I opened my gate for Jeff to come over and join me for the countdown, but Squishy turned up too! 

 Jeff wished me and Squishy a Happy New Year at midnight, even though it was only 7pm his time.

 Both Sheldon and Filbert joined us at the plaza for the countdown. It was nice to have 2 squirrels celebrating together! 

 Jeff and I watched the fireworks from the lower bridge while Squishy wandered and probably smuggled oranges ;)

 Jeff briefly opened for Squishy to sell perfect oranges. I headed over too, and saw Isabelle even though it was still almost 5 hours until midnight for Forest. I wish I could have stayed up, but 5am is a little late to me outside of Friday Night Forest fun :P

Thanks for coming over and joining me for the countdown, Jeff and Squishy! You are two people that made my 2016 very special :)

 

 Early New Year's Day, I changed my outfit to include the halo I recently purchased. I had briefly changed to my black cat dress for New Year's, but only because Jeff looked so smart!

Isabelle had a sign up to help Acorn welcome 2017.

I noticed a new house plot - Bunnie! I have Bunnie in my second town of Arrested and she has to be one of my favourite villagers of all time. I stumbled across a plushie of her back in August at a gaming convention and since then we've been close friends ;)

 In the plaza, Isabelle gave me a rooster to celebrate the New Year! It's the first zodiac statue I've got from Acorn.

 I also did my first design for a while - a Hello Kitty square for my corkboard! I made a Hello Kitty hoodie to go along with it which will be available soon along with the square.

The other night, the Northern Lights shone over Acorn once again. I love how they look when they're just softly appearing.

 Julian watched me from the beach...so I tried to sprinkle him with water :P Turns out the animation doesn't reach any lower than where the ground would be.

I popped into Club LOL and KK was playing one of my favourite songs - K.K. Condor! I bopped along for a while.

 I didn't play in the day yesterday, but in the evening I saw Katie in town.

I headed over to Forest to give him Katie and see Hopkin's RV. Jeff invited me in to purchase the standing TV. Thanks, Jeff!

Jeff kindly let me share his sparkling cider from New Year's!

This morning, Katie sent me a picture frame. I've put it in my house for now, but probably not permanently.

I also met Bunnie - and it turns out she's from Squishy's town! Thanks Squishy!

 Today, I had the standing TV customised to pink to match my house. I'm not a very pink person in real life, but I like it in game :P

 I visited Katrina, and my halo looked pretty cool in the darkness.

 Francine tried to move away from Acorn, but I stopped her immediately. I won't let one bunny go just because I have a new one!

 I finally paid of my home loan and asked Nook to build me a back room for tomorrow morning. I'm planning on making it a library.

 This evening, I visited the HHA and picked up a pink balloon from someone I StreetPassed. I think it fits in well with my outfit, the sunset and this new flower arrangement!

I tried yet again to make a perfect Snowmam, but yet again I had no success. Maybe tomorrow will bring me more luck.

Thanks for reading, and I hope your New Year is going great already!

Squishy: New Years chaos

Due to the holidays I can't remember what photos were taken what day.

 

Since Bunnie moved out I finally got to add the path again, this time it won't be destroyed!

 

Flurry wanted some fruit. I had Marshal's mango from the other day so I gave it to her.

 

I'm sooo sorry Flurry!

 

There was a notice about the end of the year. Its weird how it flew by so fast.

At one point the best selling item was ore and I got the ore rock that same day

 

Throughout the last few days I have been building snowmen (and an accidental snowboy).

 

 

 

 I don't regret giving Flurry the greeting at all.

 

I started the sand garden as a PWP and eventually paid it off.

 

Perfect peaches were best selling at another point so I invited -Santa- Jeff over to sell.

 

On New Years Eve they had a countdown set up. Redd was also selling some New Years hats. Isabelle was in a cute little suit.

 

I really like the green hat!

 

 

 If you talk to the villagers half an hour before the New Year while wearing your hat, the villagers will put their hats on.

 

 

I noticed that Beth's town Acorn was open. Since we share the same time zone I decided to come over and countdown with her. After all she did make my 2016 awesome!

 

After a few minutes Jeff came over dressed in the same tux as Isabelle. Who wears it better?

 

We all wore the same hat. It looked kind of cool.

Then 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

 

Well at least for Beth and I.

 

Jeff told me that perfect oranges were being sold in his town for extra so I went back into 2016 to sell them.

 

When speaking to my villagers Flurry told me to take a break. Nintendo couldn't have picked worse timing.

 

Jeremiah fell in a pitfall and looked like he was trying to jump in the river.

 

Nooooo! Don't jump!

2017 was the year of the rooster so I got a little model.

 

I finally got a new camper at the campground. Franklin the turkey.

 

He considered writing a cookbook.

 

I kind of want to see what the cover would look like.

I got home and looked at the rooster model. It looks so adorable.

 

I paid off both my house and my PWP.

 

Uhhh Loid? What are you looking at?

Its nice to see all the stores back to normal again.

 

I finally got my first igloo tonight.

 

Inside contained Eunice. I did not invite her into Cosmic.

Happy New Year everyone. I am so thankful for all my friends and to everyone who reads the blog. Thank you Beth for also joining me throughout 2016. It was fun!

Also I started doing song covers on my Youtube channel. Feel free to give me some song requests. You can find it here! Thank you and I hope 2017 is a great year for you all.

Beth: New Year's Eve

I visited Forest the other day and spoke to Big Top - who told me a very important life lesson :P

 After receiving the My Melody chair, I went to see if it could be customised. Unfortunately, no such luck!

 At least 3 of my villagers have asked me if they can call me cupcake since my last post! I don't mind, so now most of Acorn is in on the act.

 Even though I couldn't customise the My Melody chair, I still put it in my house! I'll have to move it if I want to play my DS/Wii U, but oh well.

 I was in the coffee shop last night at around 9:30 when I ran into Phyllis. I thought this was her shift?

 I've been trying to make a Snowmam still, but I can only seem to get perfect snowboys :P

 Last night, Jeff let me visit Forest to see Paolo's RV. Thanks Jeff!

 I ordered a few things from her RV, like the bath set, duckboards and towels. I'm planning on having a bathroom in my house, so these should fit in just fine!

 I was made to understand there would be grilled cheese sandwiches here?

 My bathroom furniture arrived this morning, so it's now all in my upstairs room.

 I got a surprise badge this morning. Also, what's that coming out of my ass?

 

 I headed to the plaza to see Isabelle, and got my tweeter from her!

 My villagers seemed very excited this morning for the New Year festivities. 

I exchanged some bamboo for the sheepishness joke - which means I only have about 4 left!

This evening, I got my happy new year's hat. I'll be back on Tuesday after I've celebrated the new year!

Thanks for reading and have a safe and exciting celebration tonight. Don't drink too much and don't text and drive!
