New Years Eve Party!

For New Years Eve we now have the tradition of having a fondue dinner, which we love! This year my mom did some fun countdown activities for the kids and adults too! Each hour they got a new fun activity, like a 2014 in review, or a coloring activity and such. We decided to have the kids celebrate New years with the folks in the Eastern time zone, so'd they be to bed a bit after 10, and it worked really well! My mom provided the adults with some fun 2014 year in review quizzes that we had a good time with. Jen and Daniel had dinner with us and stayed to visit and play for a bit before heading home, as Jen had to work the next morning. My mom once again did an awesome job decorating! It was a fantastic night! I'll let the pictures  tell the story.

The awesome table and food set-up!





Elizabeth did a great job keeping an eye on the time(my mom got a little clock they had and set the time back two hours) she made sure they got the bags ON THE HOUR!!! ;) The goodies in the first bag were from my Uncle Chester and they loved their balls, drawing pads and crayons!



My mom made a box with holes to throw their balls into...or course the little boys ended up just playing in it! :)

Tony kept them occupied for a while with his new automatic shooting toy gun....they seriously LOVE retrieving the bullets!


Time for another bag!(this one had a fun "about my 2014" questionnaire to fill out, definitely keeping them for when the kids grow up, as some of their answers were priceless!!


These were from another bag full of fun!



If you're wondering those Nano bug toys are what kept Tony, my parent's and I entertained until countdown time! :)



The big boys with their toy guns....


The kids in their cute hats my mom made!


Silly Elizabeth!

The last bag had the noise makers!!!







Fun streamers and poppers!!






And last but certainly not least the video of the countdown!
