1:00 Made noisemakers
2:00 Played a game called Scavenger Hunt (Kayleigh won!)
3:00 Made a treat (pointy sugar cone covered in chocolate and sprinkles - to be eaten tomorrow because we're having rootbeer floats tonight) Yummy!
4:00 Read a book - Shante' Keys and the New Year's Peas - gave me a chance to explain the Southern tradition of eating black-eyes peas on New Year's Day to bring good luck. We won't be doing that because I think they're pretty gross and don't even know if you can buy them in Utah.
5:00 Sing New Year's songs - some kids ones I found on the internet.
6:00 Call Grandma Cathy and wish her Happy New Year! (we had to leave a message)
7:00 Turn on the music and dance like it's 1999!...and rootbeer floats...fireworks from the neighbors...the old Disney movie "Gus."
8:00 Have a thumb war.
9:00 Tell a favorite memory from 2011. Kayleigh's was going to Eureka, UT, Matt's was our Tour de Utah, and mine was rafting in Moab. (Good thing we had to get up and pop that balloon because we were all snuggled in our bed watching the movie and were just about to fall asleep!)
10:00 Drink hot chocolate with marshmallows.
10:30...aaaaannnnnddddd...she's out!
Guess we'll finish up tomorrow. Happy New Year!
