Happy New Year! Bonne Annee! I know it's a little late, but I didn't bring my camera with us to our New Years Party and was waiting to get them. We decided to head up to OC for the night. We had dinner with Derek's parents, left Jack in good hands with them, and headed off to the Devine's for a fun-filled New Year's party. We were divided up into teams, each team was assigned a country, and each team dressed up, had an introduction with their country-inspired theme song, and the food coordinated with those countries. Lyndsay Lundquist and her sisters sure know how to put on a fun party. Throughout the night we had a variety of goofy competitions.
We started out with "spit-fire"....you drink some water and try and spit out a candle about 10 feet away. We were the guinea pigs but came in 2nd place (Mitch was a fire hose!)
Next up was around the world ping pong. We barely lost that tournament (I must say that I did pretty well for our team).
Then came blind-folded pictionary.
Afterwards gummi bear toss (Derek and I won!)
And lastly, a person (boy) from each team had to eat a massive tablespoon of cinnamon with no drink. Don't try this at home. Derek won, but proceeded to gag up spitfuls of cinnamon and had burning throat the whole time. Other symptoms included coughing, wheezing, loss of breath, running nose and overheating.
It was a fun night, with great company and lasting memories. Here's to an exciting 2010!

That party looked so fun!! I want to recreate that some time... when I have the motivation and energy. So maybe that will be never. Loved your costume!
What a fun party! I love those kind of games. Similiar to my family's Olympics we did a few years ago. I would have loved to have had a party like this but instead we went to bed at ten.
What a fun party idea! I just caught up on your previous posts too... Happy Birthday little Jack, and Merry Christmas and Looks like you had a great trip back East and to NY- Sounds like everything is going great!
I'm so glad that you did your homework (this post) so that I can copy it! Ha ha, is that cheating?!
But really, I'm totally seriously copying it.... ;)
Such a fun night. Indo rocks!
