| Jared calling the numbers, Vikki, Jacob Jack and Kimmy is behind Jared. When Jared was calling the numbers some were saying they wanted Vikki. Vikki took over and we couldn’t hear her very well, so we all wanted Jared back even if he did do speed calls where we couldn’t even keep up with him. We sure had fun and lots of laughs. |

Fun Pie in the Face game after we left |
| Melissa brought a fun game called Moose, Match, Mayhem. We played it while we were there, then Jared, Adam and Hope played after we left. Fun game! |
We read our Bibles and devotions in the morning. After that, I made meatballs and cream of chicken soup with onion soup mix in the crockpot. I made plain ole ham rollups with just onion in the center for my fussy Bill. I bought a stick of Hickory Stick at Jacks and had them slice it up for me so that was super easy.
About an hour before we had to be at Vikki and Rody’s we took about an hour nap. That’s what we do when we know we have to bring in the New Year. We got ready and went to back the Jeep out and the garage door opener fell off of Bill’s visor. We looked for it but couldn’t see it so Bill said he would get out and look when we got to Vikki’s. It was raining lightly out as we drove there. Well, we went right in and brought all of the stuff in and totally forgot about the garage door opener. Vikki had made delicious been dip, plain for Bill, with no burger for Kimmy and regular for the rest of us. She also made a beautiful veggie plate and had dip for it. She had everything set up so nice. Bruce brought a big foil pan of yummy dirt with worms in it. Yum! Bill and I were the first ones to get there. Kimmy and family came second and then Melissa and family came last.
We had lots of fun playing bingo, Apples to Apples, a game Regan and Peyton wanted to play where you draw cards and have to do what it says. I declined though when one card said to soak my socks in cold water and wear them the rest of the time and then the next one said dump a glass of water over my head. I got out of those two. The rest were silly and pretty doable. Peyton and Regan sure had fun playing it. They did some of the ones like singing etc that we didn’t want to do. Next Melissa brought a game and we played Moose Match Mayhem. I was terrible at that game, but Kimmy was very good. We turned our cards over after saying that phrase, then we grabbed a card, unless someone threw an avalanche card down. If that happened and you touched a card, you had to turn all of your cards that you were trying to make pairs with. I needed a couple more sets of eyes I guess.
We played games until it was close to the count down. Then we put goblet cups Vikki got at the Dollar Store together and poured either Sparkling Juice or pop in them, depending on what each one wanted. We did the countdown, even though we were off a little a few times. It was so much fun bringing the New Year in as a family. We all toasted and wished each other Happy New Year. Bill and I left after that. They continued to have fun with the pie in the face game and Melissa’s Moose game. It was a very fun night. Bill and I tried to get the garage opener again when we got home. We couldn’t see it at first, but then saw it between the seat and the consul. We couldn’t get it, but it did land in a way that it at least opened the garage door for us. We had to laugh when we saw it go up. We tried for quite a while, then we saw it go under an inch crack under the consul. Bill said he would have to take the seat out tomorrow.
We sat in our recliner love seat and wished lots of friends Happy New Year, than at 2, I went to bed. Bill came to bed a half hour later.
