Our first ever New Year's Eve party was a success. We had two families join us (which is plenty when you add in all our kids) and we celebrated at 10pm which is when the New Year arrives in New York.
We played Minute to Win It games that came in a board game that Daniel got me for Christmas. The kids had to do things like toss a shoe right side up onto the coffee table with their toes, balance an egg on their heads, and generally do funny moves that we all enjoyed laughing at. Daniel did a few of them, too.
Then, at midnight, we used our computer to watch the ball drop online and then Daniel and another dad dumped balloons and confetti on the kids. It was a really fun party, but I think the preparations were just as fun. We blew up 75 balloons, decorated the house, took photos of each of the kids in a fun New Year hat and made silly appetizers. The kids used mini cookie cutters to cut shapes out of bologna and I divided biscuit dough into thirds to make little sausages into mini pigs in a blanket. It was the best New Years we've ever had.
