Ringin' In the New Year 2011!

The best part of having family in town after Christmas is that they get to be here for New Year's!  New Year's Eve is definitely a PARTY at our house.  Twelve kids, six adults, food, games, pinata, skits.  It doesn't get much better than that!

We always start the night off by breaking out all of the junk food and goodies so we can graze all night long....

Then the games begin.  Donuts on a string is a definite tradition now!  

Kids go first....

Then the adults...

Minute To Win It Games were a big hit this year...  

Then we break off into groups and make short videos.  Gotta love the costumes!  I'm so mad that I didn't get a picture of the adults in their costumes, but thankfully we have the videos that we get to keep forever!

                                                      Maddi, Ryan, Davis, and Reid

Gillian, Ali, Ginger, and Heidi

Lilia, Ethan, and Kandrea

Then comes the best part!  We get to watch the videos that everybody made.  They are always a riot!

Just before midnight we get out the pinata and the kids whack away and eat way too much candy!

The four big girls ended up staying up 'til 4:30 am playing games, making videos, and just giggling the night away.  It was definitely a P. A. R. T. Y!!
