For the 12th year in a row, DanFam5.1 geared up for New Year's Eve with the hourly envelopes of fun starting at 12:00 noon.
2:00 🕑 obstacle course
12:00 noon 🕛 lunch at Kincaid's
1:00 🕐 balloon float
The object of the game was to keep the balloon afloat only by using party horns. Harder than it sounds.
The first activity of target shooting with a (very old) vintage BB gun actually took up the whole time, so target shooting was the only action for the obstacle course.
Daisy hit the bottle!
Zekers poppen a balloon swaying in the breeze.

3:00 🕒 photo scavenger hunt
The one that stumped all of them was dog poo. Tooting my own horn, and Chuey's, that there was no poo to be found in the yard. She only goes potty on walks and doesn't like to get her yard gross.
4:00 🕓 Tik Tok video
We tried to recreate the video where Daisy and I wrapped our legs around the boys and then we all did the Macarena. We could not do it.
5:00 🕔 play Casefile
We got a new game for Christmas and had not played it yet. It's a lot like Clue but more complex.
6:00 🕕 make individual pizzas and
ice cream snowmen
creations from top to bottom: Daisy, Trish, Zeke, Eli
7:00 🕖 movie Pictionary with emojis
We wrote down several movies, then pulled them out of a jar. If it was your movie you weren't supposed to guess. They were so hard that everybody was guessing because we didn't realize it was our own movie. I may have been the biggest culprit of this.
8:00 🕗 'telephone' with texts
The idea was to write a really long text, then let someone quickly look at it, then retext and retext, like whispering a message in the telephone game. It didn't work very well.
9:00 🕘 one word compliments
We were supposed to write one word compliments for everyone, then draw them out of a bowl and guess who they were describing. But the kids started saying them immediately and we didn't write them down and it was over in 5 minutes. The up side: at least they had nice things to say about each other.
10:00 🕙 Psych!
We dusted off the game Psych! that we first played on NYE a few years ago. Unlike the first time, we did not incorporate the word 'butt' into every answer.
11:00 🕚 scratch off lottery tickets
Not one winner.
12:00 🕛 midnight toast
Fireworks were going off all night. We went outside to see them at midnight.
Love my people and our little tradition of hourly envelopes.
Little dog was ready for bed.
Daddy didn't make it to midnight. The rest of us counted down and started the year off 'on the right foot.'
Happy 2025!
