Does anyone else out there celebrate the New Year at 10:00 p.m.? We do! Every year we turn on the t.v. around 10:00 and watch the ball drop in NYC. We yell happy new year and call it a night! It works out great right now since none of the kids can tell time yet! I have a feeling this is the last year of celebrating at 10:00.
This year, as always, we celebrated the new year at the cabin. We invited about 30 friends and family over for dinner and celebrating! Out of those 30, 14 of them were kids, 7 years and younger! It was a bit crazy but fun!
One of the highlights of the night was a treasure hunt in the dark around the cabin. We gave all 14 kids a flashlight and sent them around the cabin looking for treasure and more clues. At each stop, they recieved some type of New Years party favor (horns, balloons, poppers, etc.) Here is an exampe of one of the clues: Welcome to the cabin, we're glad you're here, to celebrate the very last day of the year. To start you off, here's you're first clue, go to the room where Case got the flu! Of course all the kids who were here that night went flying up the stairs to the bunk room. It was hilarious! They LOVED this, especially since it was dark and they were using flashlights.
Berkley slept through the new years party tonight. She woke up at 10:00, just as I was putting the other kids to bed!! I had to take this picture of her this morning when she wokeup!
Another highlight of the night was flipping off the couch into the bean bags.
