Pierce had a fever the day before New Year's, so we planned a fun evening at home. Because he was fighting sickness, we started the countdown at 5:00.
Balloon #1 was "Pin the Tail on the Llama"
We were belly laughing at this point. Pierce was headed in the wrong direction, but he was so confident.
Balloon #2 was "Supper by Candlelight"
We had never done this before, and it was really fun. We had cheeseburger soup.
Balloon #3 was "Glow in the Dark Ring Toss"
After a while, we switched to wine bottles. These had narrower tops and didn't fall over. We were all much more successful.
Balloon #4 was "Decorate Cookies"
Instead of colored frosting. This time we did different sprinkles. This was fun for them.
Balloon #5 was "Countdown to the New Year"
We watched a countdown video on TV. Then we toasted and made some noise.
This was one of the best evenings we've ever had as a family. It was so simple, but so fun! We will definitely do this again!
