Some of our friends were having a New Year's Eve party and asked us to come. We thought about it, and wanted to real bad, but we didn't know what to do with our kids.....well, Jerzi anyway. She goes to bed at 8. And she's not much fun after that. Jete would stay up as long as we let him.
We didn't want to just sit around and do nothing though. So we decided to put a party together at the last minute and have people come over to our house so we could still put Jerzi to bed. :)
Genius, I know.
We all made appetizers and desserts that were all t-totally scrumptious and ate like crazy.
At my family's last big get together (Fuller Fest) this summer, they played a bunch of "Minute To Win It" games. Well, me and Had didn't get to go to the big Fest. After I saw their pictures from it and how much fun they had, I was so sad I missed it. I've been wanting to do them ever since.
New Year's Eve party= perfect opportunity!
The Bag Game
(not a minute to win it game, but super fun)
(I don't really know what this game is called, but one end of the table is lifted up.)
We ate, talked, played games, and laughed like crazy. Jerzi ate with us and then went to bed at 8. Jeter and some of his little friends played some of the games with us, then they watched a movie, while we kept on keepin on. It was tons of fun! We sat and waited for the ball to drop,with our drinks of sparkling ciders. We waited, and counted down, cheered, kissed, and then realized we were watching the wrong channel. We didn't actually watch the ball drop, just counted down with some other peeps, in a different city.
Everyone left around 1, and me, Had, and Jete went to bed around 2!
Such a fun night. Thanks to everyone that came.
We had tons of fun with you!!!
That looks like fun! I never have the energy to put something like this together..... you have given me new motivation.
ReplyDeleteLooks like tons of fun, wish we had been invited :)
ReplyDeleteFun Cindy!!! Great idea:)
ReplyDeleteThat whole thing about not watching the ball drop? Yea, that happened to us too! We all stopped playing Just Dance, ran into the theater room, and then watched two random news people count down from 10 to 1. And the camera was just on them. Lame! Haha, oh well. Good thing our life doesn't revolve around that...
ReplyDeleteHey, didn't you text me and say that you just watched the ball drop real time and we had to watch a rerun of the actual thing? Haha you little sucker, I don't feel bad that you missed. But your party looked dang fun, good on ya Cin. Or should I say Had, I'm sure he planned all the games, food, invites, everything. And if he is anything like Josh, he really just voiced his opinion about the food. Haha. Glad you had a good time. Can't wait to see you guys.
ReplyDeleteOK, yes -- that looks like the most fun social gathering I can think of. You are awesome!
ReplyDeleteWe watched the same ball dropping station as Audrey and felt totally let down about that.
We celebrated the new year east coast time and went to bed by 11.

That looks so fun Cin. That's just what we wanted to do too, but then New Year's Eve turned out to be the Sabbath for us and it's just not quite the same. Mabes next year, when it's on a Saturday. That will be much better.
