New Years Eve

Erika offered to Co-Host a "Kid Friendly New Years Eve" with me this year.  My idea?  Lets have the adults fondue while the kiddos play or watch movies... Yup - Just call me "parent of the year".  Her Idea? Well, it was a little more Fun!   Here is a quick pic of the cute Hostesses for the night, Martha Stewart and Betty Crocker.

Erika came up with activities for the kids to do on the hour starting from 5pm until midnight (if they made it).  She blew up balloons with activities inside each one.  Once the balloon was popped, we had one hour to finish the project.

Cover your Ears!

The first activity? Getting these kids fed of course.  What a smart Mom to make this one first.  Personal Pizza's all around.  Thank goodness I know a gal who gets The Best Mozzarella this side of the universe!  Dinner was followed by a HUGE gingerbread man dessert.

Then, the real fun began.  Glow In the Dark Bubbles, Cotton Candy Soda Drinks and popping bubble wrap! Um, COOL Ideas!  In case you didn't know... this is what Totally Happy Kids look like!

What were the adults doing during all of this?  Eating of course!  Amy had worked hard on creating a mingling fondue.

After our fun dinner, we ensued in a friendly game of "Cards Against Humanity".  Best game I have played in awhile... although make sure kiddos are in a different room than the adults!  I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.

Some of us had to work on New Years as I hear it is a pretty busy day for a police officer.  These smiles below are ones of a loving couple so happy Curtis got there just in time to ring in the New Year!

Ok, the kiddos didn't quite make it....  But we finished off their balloons for them!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

And to finish off the perfect New Years Eve?  ... A Lucky New Years Day meal with family!
