After we finished eating our delicious chinese food for dinner we started the party.
I found this great idea on Pinterest where the kids get to open an envelope with a different activity for each hour up until midnight. So, I came up with a few fun things that I thought the kids would like to do.
6:00pm Let's get the party started! Make some party hats!!
Our finished party hats!!
7:00 pm Let's dress up and have a DANCE party!
8:00pm BATHTIME!! Time to make some BUBBLES!!
Lyllee and Samantha wanted to take a bath upstairs while Andy and Madelyn took a bath downstairs.
We learned that filling up two bathtubs at the same time wasn't the greatest idea. Halfway through the girls lost hot water and were freezing! Lesson learned.
9:00 pm Snack time! Let's make a yummy treat for our family!
10:00 pm Let's put some PUZZLES together!
She just couldn't keep her eyes open any longer. Sweet!
11:00 pm Resolutions!
MIDNIGHT!!!
After the kids were done writing their resolutions we sat down and watched the ball drop in New York. Lyllee and Andy were almost asleep when we told them it was time to go outside and make some noise! WE celebrated with noise makers and sparkling cider. Of course this woke them right up and they didn't want to go to bed after all that. Unfortunately for them, mom and dad were exhausted so they had to go to bed anyways.
Happy New Year to you!!
