New Year's Eve

I know I am a little late with this, but for New Year's Eve Daniel and I actually did something instead of passing out before midnight. We went to a party! We had a neighbor girl come over and stay with our kids while they slept.

At the party we played some games and whatever couple won the most was crowned the "Couple of the Year." We didn't win, but we were a close call. For the first game the wives had to throw Swedish Fish into our husbands' mouths. That game we did win. I am good at throwing. Actually we all know that it is Daniel that can catch anything.
The next game we played, the wives got to pelt our husbands in the face with marshmallows. I think we came in second or something. You got more points if you could get it in his mouth. I also hit the guy next to Daniel a few times. That was not a good thing :)
This is a picture of some of the men trying to get hit by marshmallows.
We had to do it in groups because we didn't all fit.
This is some of the women throwing marshmallows.
We played the "Newlywed Game" and the wives were asked questions and the husbands had to guess what our answers would be. We didn't do the best on this, but I blame the questions, ha ha.
And the last game we played the husbands lined up shoulder to shoulder and the wives had to close our eyes and touch the men on their shoulders and guess who was who. Only one wife did not find her husband, which was really funny.

Hope everyone has a good year in 2010 no matter where you are and what you are doing!

haha those games sound like fun! I'm wondering if i could find my husband by touching his shoulders! I'd probably be the one who didn't!

We had one of Isaac's friends from Denver here so we had to stay home. Booo! We were in bed by 10pm. I think we would have given you a run for your money on the swedish fish game! HA!

That was fun, I'm glad you guys came. The questions on the Newlywed game were intentionally tricky/ meant to cause problems...that's just Joe for you. You guys did really well, maybe we should have had a runner up prize!
