New Year's Eve

We are not big New Year's Eve people in our family.  Only Gavin stays up until midnight and even he admits that it is nothing special, just an excuse to watch TV.  Yeah, we are boring.
Since we had 9am church the next day and we needed to get ready for that, we started our celebration early.  We invited my family over for dinner, games and festivities.  Uncle Jarom and the Kellys came over about 4pm (Fords had other plans).  We ate dinner at Emmett and Ethel's in Lehi.  It was so good.  After dinner we came back to our house and played a couple of games.
We started by playing Snorta, a very fun memory game (not so good for the lady with the baby brain).  We then we opened one of our new games, Curses.  This was hilarious!  Wow!  We couldn't stop laughing.  And everyone was such a good sport.
After games we let the kids do a few sparklers.  I have had these for about three years, so I was happy to use them up and the kids thought it was great fun.  It was cold, but still worth it.
After sparklers, we warmed up inside while decorating gingerbread men.  They were super yummy and the kids ate as much candy as they did cookies.
We had a fun night.  It wasn't late or too exciting, but we spent it in good company.
