New Year's Eve 2013-14

We decided to turn New Year's Eve into a bit of a party for the kids, with family games, prizes and fun food.  It turned out to be a great day all around. 

A few pics from early in the day:
Benji and Sophia, trying to make a trap for the girls (out of pipe cleaners)
Sophia got a microphone for Christmas, which both little kids loved

Especially Benji

We started the games about 3pm. Steph made balloons printed with times every half an hour and a slip of paper with the activity inside, so that the kids had to pop the right balloon to find out what we were doing:

First activity: spoons
Next came the riddle hunt
Divvying up their riddle hunt prize: different spools of tape

Musical chairs
 

Zingo

Pin the hand on the clock




Unrolling the tape ball
 

 


Make your own sundaes

Win, lose or draw, which turned out to be the surprise favorite of the evening


Benji, insisting he wanted a turn, and drawing a surprisingly recognizable boat



The girls created their own riddle hunt and countdown
 
The girls were still awake talking at midnight, so we let them come down to watch the ball drop
 

Happy New Year!
