It's 2012! Can you believe it? How did you ring in the New Year? Okay, so I am a little late in posting this. Oh well.... better late than never right?
We started a New Year's Eve tradition about three years ago. We ring in the New Year with only the best. Best Friends.... Best Games... Best Snacks... and CHOCOLATE! A chocolate fountain is the highlight of our party. The kids love it and so do the adults!
The Peters, the Porters and our family spent all evening eating, and playing games. Then about 10pm we turn out all the lights in the house and everyone is given a glow stick (safety first) and then we play Sardines. It is so funny because I always think the little kids are going to be scared but they never are. So for those who have never played Sardines it is so fun. One person goes and hides and then everyone is trying to find them. Once you do find then you join them until everyone is hiding together. Quite fun! So we played until 5 minutes before the stroke of midnight. At 12am we toasted with Sparkling cider and enjoyed a light show by my boys. It was a wonderful evening full of good food, fun and friends.
Happy New Year to Everyone!
Sounds like so much fun!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! I used to play Sardines all the time as a kid and loved it. All of your boys stayed up till midnight? I'm impressed! They beat out their Auntie Emily!
