Happy New Year!

We spent New Year's Eve in St. George with Steph and Jim.  We arrived around 7:00 and she had everything ready to party.  The kids were excited to hang with their cousins and Steph is so stinkin' cute and creative!  We had a lot of fun acting upon her ideas.

 Steph had an activity planned with instructions in each bag for each hour up until midnight.
 The food was delicious and out on the counter all night long to snack on.
 Jim ordered 2 of these 6 footers.  We took almost an entire one home and finished it off 4 days later.

7:00 p.m.
Goal journals for the upcoming year
 
8:00 p.m.
Year End Charades
We played Charades where we divided into teams (boys vs. girls) and then came up with different events that had happened to our families throughout the year.  We then acted them out and the other team had to guess that event.  

9:00 p.m.
Cut The Candy Bar and Suck the M&M's
We have never played Cut The Candy Bar so Steph was pretty excited to introduce it to us.  They had played it at our family's Christmas Party this year but we weren't there for the fun.
   
10:00 p.m.
Glow-in-the-Dark Dance Party and Limbo
 
11:00 p.m.
Video Games and Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve 
 
11:55 p.m.
The kids chose balloons off the tree as well as New Year's fortune cookies and noise makers.
 
MIDNIGHT
Balloons popped, confetti and dollars flew in the air, 
horns were blowing, and a New Year's kiss!
 Welcome 2012!
