The Bray family started the new year off with a bang! We hosted our first New Year Eve party with a little bit of a twist... It was an "Office" New Year! We all dressed up as different "Office" characters and watched an office marathon that night. We all submitted our favorite episodes to a hat and drew episode by episode. It was great fun! Our house was decorate with usual office decoration such as crate paper and balloon's.
After several hours of "The Office" we broke out some Rock Band!!! That was really fun but then we broke out Sing Star!!! Yes, that was great fun
and we have some FUNNY video of
people singing. I don't know how to post a video yet but I will learn in time. So those will have to wait!
Along with Rock Band and Sing Star we had a little game for everyone to play. Me and Trent spent about 2 days wrapping a little gift card over and over and over. We include duct tape... bubble wrap... cardboard box... another cardboard box and a LOT of tape! The game was each person had a chance to roll the dice and who ever rolled a 9 or doubles it was your turn to open the present. You had until the next person to roll a 9 or doubles to try to unwrap all you could. Oh, there was one catch... you have to unwrap it wearing oven mitts. This was really fun but I wish we would have wrapped it more so it took longer to unwrap. Jenny was VERY good at ripping several layers at a time.
One idea we had (a little late of an idea as well) was to see if we could successfully put a staplers in Jello! Good thing me and Trent got off work early that day so we could run home and try it... It took almost all afternoon and all evening to set but it worked! We used Green Jello and it was darker than we thought it would be but it was too late to turn back. Despite the darker Jello and the dark lighting of the house at night, we could see the stapler! It was so fun and I cannot believe it worked! It really made it a true "Office" party!
This was one of the funnest New Year Eve's I have had in a long time and I am so glad that I was able to share it with so many of my close friends! Thank you to everyone that came, you truly made it the best New Year's EVER!!!!

Hey! I didn't know you had a blog! I'm so glad you found mine. And you're blond again! I love it! I am way excited about Primary...they are seriously the cutest kids ever. I actually started laughing during Sharing Time on Sunday because there is this one sunbeam who is a little hyper and he was singing one of the songs REALLY loud! I couldn't help but laugh.
