New Year's Eve

This New Year's Eve was probably the best New Year's Eve (other than the one we spent in Oregon).  The dinner was nice.  We didn't watch movies.  And I got to know some of my cousins better.

The dinner we had was delicious.  Well...most of it.  The theme was:  Bring Anything That Goes With Rice.  Our chicken was the best.  Grandma made some meatball/pineapple/sweet & sour sauce stuff.  Josh liked it and ate extra.

This year, Aunt Wendy said, "We're all big kids now:  we don't need movies to entertain ourselves!"  I thought, "Yeah!  Yay for you!"  So we had dinner, visited for awhile, played Two Lies & a Truth with the whole family, played Catch Phrase, and then played Mafia with kids eleven and older.  That was it.  Time flies when you're having fun!

This New Year's Eve I liked especially well, because I got to know some of my cousins better.  While everyone was talking after dinner, I played Would You Rather...? and Charades with Jake and Savannah.  Jake is such a tease!  I had dinner with Clarke, Dara, Eli, Grace, Josh and Abby at my table.  They are hilarious!

I really enjoyed this New Year's Eve, probably better than any other.  I got to know some of my cousins better, didn't watch movies, and had a delicious dinner.  Thanks to Aunt Wendy, everything was wonderful!
