We had a 'Rockin New Years' this year. (Well Rockin as much as it can be with the small amount of alcohol in all of the chocolate we ate!) For the past few years, we have had a pinata with candy, toys, and $$$! If you would have been privileged enough to have been there in the past, you not only would have seen 9 adults diving on the dirty cement floor dollars, you might have gotten a couple yourselves. Nate and I have always been the best divers and scavenged the most money, but decided this year that we couldn't afford to scuff up any more of my shoes, and rip any more holes in our jeans. We all voted to just have the pinata for the kids -candy and toys only- and play a little more civilized game for the moo la!!
We did get smart this year and celebrate the new year around 9:30 with the kids- poppers, grandma and her silly string, and lots of screaming! We put the kids to bed and all put on our game face. When money is on the line- you have to be serious about it all. We played a little Farkel, and then got to playing "Speak It Not." It is just like Taboo, but with Scripture words. Of course, the girls were the winners + Rick, - the gift of gab rules!!!
