Ringing in the NEW YEAR! ~2012~ style!

The hors d' oeuvres were ready for our partaking as we arrived!
The candles were lit...
...and the table was set at it's finest!
The dance hall was ready for some jigs!

The drink station was ready for partaking! (Non alcohol of course!! Mocktails!)

Dressed in our finest...we sat to enjoy a FIVE course meal at it's very finest! We even cleansed our pallets with lime sorbet before the main course! BUT OF COURSE! ;)



Down in the dance hall 'THE' couples slow dance was next on the agenda.....

EDIT! ;)
Then the real music got turned on...and the fast dance moves were a riot!
Even some break dancing!
(These balloons had LED lights in them...along with the BLACK light on! SWEET!

After dancing off our dinner....we worked up a thirst! Mocktail time!


Some yummy concoctions were made....

...along with some INTERESTING ones!

The night was ticking along quickly! (6 hrs is just not enough time!...right!) Time to get in the comfy clothes....and play some group games! Gestures!
Boys against girls also! GIRLS TOTALLY WON!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We ran outside to make some noise, light some fireworks, smooch....and freeze!

Aaron NEVER forgets his good ol AIR HORN! Sorry to those it woke! ;)

Returning on in...we toasted to the NEW YEAR with some good ol Sparkling cider BUBBLY! (Aaron is looking a bit punch drunk at this point! ;)
It was getting late you see! Plastic goblets were getting suctioned to some!! Haa haa... I can't NOT look at this picture without laughing! Too funny! He really did fall asleep like this! HA!
We got to grandma's to find the kids ringing in the NEW YEAR like this!

AWWWWWWW What sweet little boys!
Happy NEW YEAR YA' ALL!

(Katie you are a splendid host!)

Wow that was quit the party! I want to come next year. Tell Aaron to keep that in the bedroom. Blake is doing great. When are you available to play? I'm impressed I bet that was a lot of work.

It looks like you have some awesome friends. My party looks very lame in comparison. We only had pizza and only played Catch Phrase.
Happy New Year! xoxo
