Ringing in the New Year

We celebrated New Year's Eve at Amy and Jason's house this year.  It's so nice to be able to get together and have fun with all our kids.  They will grow up with some awesome memories!!
 
Pinterest makes things so easy for me! I was in charge of kid entertainment and found the cutest ideas.  I printed out little cards with activities for the kids to do each hour.  I rolled them up and stuck them inside a balloon, labeled with the time.
Each hour, Tyler would pop the balloon and read out what they were supposed to do.
The first hour's activity was to open up a box filled with coloring supplies!

We took tons of pictures.  Have to document this stuff!  How sweet are these kids?!  Blythe gives the best hugs and look how gentle Kenzie is with Miss Adelie.  Any my child is obviously the best at keeping pictures from being too serious. ha!

Another of the balloons directed the kiddos to create a "Friendship Craft."
We painted each of their hands and put their prints onto a canvas.
The boys weren't much help for this project....
They turned out perfect.  And it looks so cute on Ruston's dresser!

Next up was the infamous Minute-to-Win-It Oreo game!

And then.... Wii Just Dance competition.  I still say it was completely unfair to put me with the "Dancehall Doctor" on the first round! :)

The kids were definitely the stars of the competition!

The next balloon led to opening a box full of picture props!  Too much fun!

Sparkler time lasted for about 3 minutes... it started raining!
We moved it inside to watch the daddies set off the rest of the fireworks.

The last balloon activity was a box of New Year's goodies! Horns, hats, and whistles, galore!
Happy New Year!!!!
