New Year's Eve

Tonight we went to Sean's house for our gathering.  We had french toast, eggs, hashbrowns, bacon and sausage.  After dinner we did chin puppets. The kids had SO much fun doing it.  Then all the adults got a turn too.  I hadn't done chin puppets since I was in college.  It brought back so many fun memories for Holly and I.
After the puppets, it was time to break the balloons already.....according to eastern time zone that is....  The kids, Quique and Dave blew balloons up while the rest of us were cooking (yes me stuck outside).
After the balloons we did the pinata.  We took the horse one from Isabel's b-day party.  It was only missing one leg and it's bum.  So we duct tape the holes and used it.  It was very fragile but all the kids got to hit it with candy falling out.  Only because Gaby kept giving the candy back to Quique to put back in.  It was pretty funny.  Erika made two paper ma-she balloons too and we did those like a hot potato.  The kids did one and the adults did one.  All 12 kids were still up with hardly any meltdowns.  We all ended up leaving around 11:30.  We got home and Lili and Mateo were out.  Isabel and Gaby went straight to bed too.  Quique and I stayed up for a bit to make it to midnight and went to bed shortly after.  Lots of fun to end the year!
(We videoed most everything and that is why there are hardly any photos of most of the evening.)
