We all went the the LeFevre home. We have a standing invitation to party with them every year for the New Year.
The evening started around 8pm. There were many snacks: deviled eggs, little smokies, cheese ball, shrimp salad dip, crackers, chips, cheesy bean dip, chocolates, puppychow, pecan tartlets, soda pop, egg nog and sparkling juices.
There were many games: One Word, Mumbo Jumbo, Apples to Apples, Catchphrase, and Mormon Mouthful (which is like Mad Gab but phrases and words are specific to the Latter-day Saint culture).
At Midnight everyone had a sparkling juice, we clinked glasses, toasted and gave our honey a first kiss of the year. Then there were fireworks outside at the curb. They looked beautiful reflecting off of the snow. We had poppers/snappers and confetti.
Some of the couples left soon after that. But a few of us kept on with the games. We got home before 3am. A good time was had by all.

ReplyDeletesounds like fun. I was in sleepy-dreamland by about 10:30p and woke up when the little girls went to bang their pots and pans on the front porch and yell "Happy New Year" and then I made sure the doors were locked and went back to bed.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to You and Yours. My wish is for a very good and successful year.
