Celebrating the last hours of 2011

We had such a wonderful time as a family on New Year's Eve! I saw a super cute idea on another blog and knew that my children would love it! I blew up 12 balloons and then I put an activity in each balloon. We started our party at 6:00 p.m. and every hour I would let the children take turns popping 2 balloons for every hour until midnight. The night was full of noise and laughter, it was a riot! The children especially loved painting with shaving cream and making masquerade masks.

Here are some of our Activities that we did:

Eat a cookie, Paint with Shaving Cream, Hot Cocoa with peppermint and Whipped Cream, Pizza & Wings, Make masquerade masks, Do a Chore, Call Grandparents, Sing a Song, Play Games, Fill out a questionairre, Toast in the New Year with Sparkling White Grape Juice & Watch the Ball drop in NYC.

Tomorrow we plan to make individual goals as well as new family goals. Happy 2012!!!

Chief loves all the action!

Granny and Goose carefully decorating their masks. I'm afraid that Monte's mask won't dry. He used quite a bit of puffy paint.

Bean took a lot of time decorating her Masquerade Mask.

Chief is a bust up! Here he is in his masquerade mask before it was decorated.

Goose in his pre-decorated Masquerade mask.

We played Apples to Apples all night while listening to music. Because it wasn't loud enough! :)

One of papers in the balloons said, "Sing songs." Of course Granny thought this meant that he needed to give a solo. So he sang to us, "Little Purple Pansies." It was hysterical!
