Our friends Trent and Mendee invited us over for New Years Eve. We had a way fun time. They ordered pizza and buffalo wings, and she made this YUMMY chocolate covered popcorn. (I'm pretty sure it's fat free and organic, so I ate lots of it.) Anyway I brought the trusty 7 layer bean dip, and I was going to bring a dessert, but didn't do so well and I ended up bringing cinnamon bears and skittles. I know it sounds random, but we had our kids, so I thought they'd appreciate it.
We played SLURP, and DON'T EAT PETE!...Slurp is where you pass around a bowl of skittles to the person who rolls 7,11 or doubles, and you try to suck the skittles out of the bowl with a straw. Luckily we had Trent there because Mendee and I had a hard time adding up the two dice. My games were random, I must have played them as a kid because Trent and Mendee hadn't heard of them...they were sports and played along though. I think the kids liked the games. (Mendee's older boy Kayson and his friend thought I was nuts, but they played along and we laughed.)
Mendee even supplied us with the sparkling cider, and we did the 10 second count down at 9:25...just in time to get the kids in bed by 10:00.

We did the same thing only we did the count down at 8:00. My kids keep telling people they stayed up clear til midnight (we set the clocks so they said midnight.)
