New Year's craziness


My good friend Laurie decided it would be fun to plan a New year's party this year at her house. The woman is what they used as a model for the energizer bunny.

Highlights:

  • Jared likely ate half a tub of red vines. If he couldn't reach them he would stand in front of them quietly playing with his hands until someone noticed, or got enough courage to reach in and grab one.


  • Rhett and the stacking cups. They are addicting and Jayce loves them. They're on my list.

  • Bum writing. No explanation. You can't describe how funny it is to someone, you just have to do it.
  • Song wars. Since bum writing started men v women we staying suit and battled song lyric memories.
After watching the ball drop, taking a swig of Martinelli's, and kissing our hunny's we headed out to the back porch to confetti ourselves and shoot off a couple of bottle rockets. Shelli headed back indoors since she isn't a fan and much to her surprise a wild rocket made a U-turn and shot into the house and right through her legs! We froze and went to survey damage after the small explosion. Shelli, a little rattled, Jared not phased and Janelle small burn on her feet from passing sparks. All in all a FUN night! Thanks Laurie!!

  5. Happy New Year!! What a fun party. Too bad no one got that rocket going into the house on tape. What would have been pretty funny to watch.
