It was my turn to plan New Years Eve and I chose to go with a sub, chips, and dip dinner. Then, I got this good idea off Pinterest to have a kid drive-in movie. We got each of the kids a box to decorate how they wanted their car to look-then we played a bunch of games to win tickets for their movie entrance, snacks, and drinks (bowling, duck duck goose, musical chairs, freeze dance, etc.) After everyone got their tickets, everyone parked their cars downstairs and got comfortable with pillows and blankets. While Dan got the movie set up( Smurfs from Red Box) we had the kids go up to the kitchen where Grandma Fluffy Hairs had their popcorn bags, M&M bags, and drinks ready. They each paid for their treats with the tickets they won.
While they ate and watched movies from the cars, the adults played games: Mad Gab, Scategories, and Skip Bo. After the movie was over, the kiddies got to see some fireworks, we watched the ball drop and ring in the new year-and then hit the sack-those of us still up anyway:) Some bailed out early and some were put to bed cause they are still too young for the 12 am thing. All in all-I thoroughly enjoyed all the celebrating and can say it was a great start of our life here in UT and a great Start to the New Year. We are currently working on getting settled into our new apartment here close to my parents' house. Pictures of that to come, and Dan has started his new job-so far so good:)
