This year we spent New Years eve with our friends the Toutai's. We ate tons of food, played some games, watch the ball drop, made lots of loud noise, and enjoyed each others company. It was a fun way to start off the new year!
A game that we played with the kids was "Don't eat Pete". This game is played by having a paper with the numbers 1-9 each in their own box. Then you put a piece of candy on each square. You send one kid out of the room and the rest of the kids quietly pick one number and call that number "Pete". The kid comes back from the other room and slowly picks up a candy and eats it one at a time. The rest of us watch with excitement and when we see the kid reach for the number that is "Pete" you quickly yell very loudly "DON"T EAT PETE".
Payton has played this game many times with his cousins so he loves it and thinks its the funniest thing ever. Mapuana and Mom were very unsure about this. We were able to convince Mapuana to come and try it.
It was very fun to watch the excitement on their faces. Even us parents got to play with them.
Mo wasn't into the game so he just watched from afar!
Right before the new year came we got out our hates, blowers, and poppers.
Mo and Payton showing us how loud they can blow their blowers!
Viliami is just so adorable!!!! He enjoyed the new years party as much as the rest of us. This pictures shows that for sure!
Scarlett didn't quite make it to midnight. She was too tired! She crashed on the couch and didn't even budge from all the noise we made!
I am the luckiest girl in the world. I have the best husband and kids ever. We had a great new years eve! Looking forward to all the many wonderful this the new year will bring for me and my family!
