We had a cousins New Year's Eve party at Grandma Newbold's house. We had a countdown chain for each hour starting at 7pm and going until midnight with a clue. The clue told where a bag was hidden for the activity of the hour. It kept the kids busy and they went off and played their own things until the top the hour and the adults got to talk.
The first activity was at
7:00pm and they kids found a bag with bowls in it. They were told they were going to have a snow sculpture contest and they had to go out and fill their bowl with snow and then make something. Abby thought it was a bowl of food and sat at the table and ate it. Lance was the winner with the snow turtle.
8:00pm they found water bottles and we filled them with colored water for them to color the snow. I heard the older kids drenched the snowman in the front yard and turned it all yellow.
At
9:00pm we all played Grandma's famous candy bar game.
The kids even challenged Grandma to a bubble gum blowing contest.
Some where between 9pm and 10pm we lost Grandpa to one of many naps.
At
10:00pm we took some crazy photos and made a scrapbook page. I all the kids a page that had a spot they could fill in about some of their favorite things of 2009.

11:00pm was time for another nap for Grandpa. Todd also took a nap after snowboarding with the guys all day. It was that or the scrapbooking he had to help the kids with.
11:00pm they found one of the last bags that had supplies to make party shakers. Every year the kids have made a new years noise maker that we keep at Grandma's house to use for the next year. The collection is pretty cool and fun to see each new years.
Just before midnight we all went in and watched a slide show from the pi cures we had taken and then found a bag with all the noise makers and watched the ball drop on TV to bring in the new year.
