New Year's Eve Party

We threw a big family party for New Year's Eve.  My dad brought the usual NYE dinner - deli sandwiches.  Then I put activities in balloons to be popped every hour. 



First Activity:  Balloon Volleyball

 Second Activity:  Fitness Time

The kids did pushups, situps and had a long jump contest.
 

Then the adults joined in the long jump contest - only you had to be holding your toes while you jumped.  It was hilarious!!

Third Activity:  Bubble blowing contest






Fourth Activity:  play hide & seek (no picture)
 
Fifth Activity:  Eat cookies and milk

Sixth Activity:  Glow stick dance party
This was the best activity of the night - we had 150 glow sticks and the kids would dance then we would yell "throw them" and all the glow sticks would be up in the air - it was like fireworks.  

The kids were getting tired so we rang in the new year at 10:00 pm with a countdown and kisses

I am so creepy!!

Then we had a big slumber party.  My kids loved having their cousins sleep over. 
Jo Jo and Sophie are a big tangled mess.

Other ideas for activities: snowball fight & hot cocoa, charades, bubbles, and  build a fort,
