Happy New Year!

 A couple of family shots before New Years Eve on December 30th!

December 31- Let the fun begin!

We were lucky to have Gary's family, Karli , Michael and 

our friend Kristal celebrate with us.

We had a countdown for the kids

An activity every hour until their "New Years" celebration at 8 pm.

 Found the balloons didn't stick to the walls so we moved them to the window
Here we go with Activity #1

 

New Year crafts!  Time to make noisemakers and New Years hats for all!

 On to Activity 2 -  Game time!

Flashlight Limbo and other games

Other activities of the evening included a short movie, and a dance party

which soon turned into a gymnastic tumbling event for the little ones

 Finally the last balloon to pop! 

 Time to ring in the New Year!

We put the kids to bed and let the real party begin!

Just Dance and Wipe Out Wii Games

 Ninja Blackjack- Nerd style

Mom transforms from Nerd to Norm in seconds

Although Nerd may actually be the more favorable look!

Karli and Kelli go to extremes to try for blackjack 21

The night ended with dessert and ringing in the New Year at midnight like real adults!

Happy 2013 everyone!  May it be a great year for all!
