Ringing in the New Year!

Well..... 2013 has come to a close so the Perry Family decided to party it up to celebrate the coming year.  We also needed to celebrate the end of our winter vacation as the girls go back to school on January 2nd.  We decided to stay home to watch the ball drop but also have some fun activities to do.  I found an idea on the internet that I thought the girls would love.  I came up with a list of activity ideas and put each idea on a slip of paper and put it into a balloon.  Each half hour we popped a balloon to see what activity we would do next.
We started out with having a yummy dinner of new years treats and watching Happy New Year Charlie Brown - yeah, we are party animals in our house.  Then we sat down as a family and came up with a list of family goals/resolutions that we want to accomplish together.  The girls had some good ideas!  After that we played a rowdy game of Book of Mormon Go-Fish.  It's actually a family favorite and we have a really fun time playing it. :)
They were all very sneaky with their cards.....
I found some fun New Years coloring pages online and since the girls got a ton of art supplies for Christmas they were eager to participate.  Even Clara colored a picture with her pencils.
Then it was time for our Wii Dance Party!  All three of our girls LOVE to dance.  They sure got their groove on.  Clara likes to listen to music and yell out, "Shake It!"  It's adorable!

They had some really good moves!
We were also supposed to have a Wii bowling tournament so that Dad could join in on the fun, too but apparently our game is broken so we just spend extra time dancing instead.
At 9:00 we poured our glasses of Sparkling Cider and toasted each other.
It was a really fun night celebrating together.
Happy 2014!  We hope it's a great year for our family and yours!
