New Years Eve

My dad is the king of ball games. He can think of tons of fun relays with balls and has been creating games like this since I was a kid. so we HAD to have some fun on the last night we were together. And of course we ate TONS of good food that night too.


Getting ready for the kids games here is Dara, Joe, Emma, Susanna and Brian Tyler went first in the kid division. They had to push a ball with their nose to the first station where they played bowling. Then push the ball to the second station. At that station they shot down cups with a sling shot then push the ball to the the finish line.

Jaxon bowling he loved it so much he didn't want to leave
After the kids finished the fun race they went to bed. They said goodbye to Grammy and Grandpa because they were leaving early the next morning.

Next was the adults turn to have some fun. We played a lot of different games but for some reason this was the only part I seemed to get pics of.

At the end of the relay one person had to flip a ball that is on a spoon over their head and the teammate had to catch it with a cup. Here are some of my favorites.

Emily missing the ball but Trying very hard.


Brian and Amy flipping the ball I think both teams got it into there cups during this picture!

Jaxon stayed up until it was time for card games. He wouldn't leave them alone so Emily put him down too. this is how he smiles for all of his pics now it is pretty funny.
