New Year's Eve 2015

I love when New Year's Eve rolls around each year.  We always go to my parents house and it is always so much fun!
 
My mom did this cute New Years tree this year, well last year;). 
 
 My kids loved it!

 
I did bags for Emma to countdown to the new year.  Each bag had a game in it.  You can check out the games here.


She was able to open one bag each hour.  She couldn't wait to find out what was inside.

She opened the first bag at 6 o'clock.  It was a New Years match game.



Then they had some fun with balloons with Aunt RuthAnne.

 
At 7 o'clock she did a New Years Search and Find.  Emma did a great job finding all of the pictures.

My mom thought it would be fun to do chocolate fondue.
Emma loves cinnamon bears.  She was in heaven when she found out grandma had them for us to dip in chocolate.

My mom had pretzels, marshmallows, cinnamon bears, grapes, bananas, strawberries and Oreo's for us to dip.  It was so good!!
 
 
Even Adam loved it. 
 


 We play the "Candy Bar Game" every New Years Eve.  To play you need different candy bars and dice.  The candy bars will be placed in the middle of the playing area.  Each player will take a turn rolling the dice.  If you roll 7, 11, or doubles you can choose a candy bar.  If someone has the candy bar you want you can ask for it.  We play where the candy bar can not be passed around more than 3 times.  The person who has it on the last time is able to keep it for good.  We play until there are no more candy bars left.  For me it wouldn't be New Years Eve without this game.:) 

 
The next game we played was, Countdown to the New Year.  Emma found numbers 1-10 in a container of silver grass.  When she found one we would identify the number and cover it on the mat.

When she found all of the numbers we said, "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Happy New Year!" 
 
Adam had to get in on the fun too!
 
 
Happy New Year everyone!:)
