Dean came home about 15 minutes before people started arriving and made this awesome ballooon drop. At 8:30 we did a countdown for all the kiddos that needed to go to bed. All he had to do was cut a string and 75 balloons (that he blew up with his air compressor) came flying down. The kids loved it. I figured we'd get at least another half hour of play time with all those balloons, but once one popped, they popped them all as fast as they could. The little ones were holding on as tight as they could to theirs. Brylie was biting them to get them to pop!
Then I had a great idea that the kids would love some noisemakers! So I bought the smallest, cheapest looking ones I could find, and let me tell you - they were not quiet and they lasted plenty long. I intended on letting them keep them and take them home, but after a few minutes of around 20 kids blowing on those things, I had to ask for them all back. 
All the girls except Claire, she came a little late. Me, Lucinda, Rachael, Candace, Missy, Sharmy, Alison, & Kelly.
The boys, who cheated of course, beat us at a game of Guesstures. Good times. And what were the kids up to while we were playing????
Unsupervised eating of whatever they could get their hands on!! It was a fun night! We're glad so many of our friends could come and terribly missed the ones who couldn't! Happy New Year!!!
