New Year’s Eve Party and a Contest For You!
This year’s theme was Charlotte’s Web. Sometimes we like to play little tricks on our New Year’s Eve Party guests. Can you guess what the tricks were (hint: look at the photos)? The first person to tell me two tricks we played wins a copy of The Fallacy Detective. Leave your guesses in the comment section below.
Here’s Charlotte taking up residence in our living room right before the guests arrive.
Let’s start off with the Pea-Ka-Bobs appetizer
Poor Wilbur
Helena’s artwork — decorated sugar cookies
Plenty to eat
Pig Slops, a.k.a. Raspberry Trifle
Foosball Tournament
Pistachios for the low-carb dieters
Jason bravely eats his first shrimp — and wins a prize.
Taboo — the game of unspeakable fun
Happy Birthday, Dewayne and Greg
Harvey’s favorite
The game with no name.
Anyone have a name for this game?
A party wouldn’t be a party without charades.
A little bird told me.
How do you act out, “a loaf of bread”?
Dead Ringer
Last game before midnight
Happy New Year!

[...] The Carnival of Family Life is up at More 4 Kids. I’ve been reading past the typos about our birthday (blogging software, including the one I use, really need spell checkers) as well as the birthday traditions of other blogging parents. It’s a celebratory issue. New Years Eve and family dining issues are all fun. [...]

That sounds like a lot of fun. Theme parties are a good idea, especially with the little tricks!!

If the “Game With No Name” is the one in which each person begins with text and draws a secret picture to illustrate or interprets this picture into words until it is a far cry from what she began with, then it’s a game we call “Telephone Pictionary” or “Picture Down the Lane”.
This is my absolute favourite game, by the way.
