New Year's Eve....it's one of my favorite days of the year. It's also our anniversary which adds to why it's my favorite. Christmas for me is about tradition, nostalgia, and family. It's candlelight services, hot chocolate and lights, and wrapping up in a blanket and watching movies that I can almost quote in their entirety. New Year's eve on the other hand is all about a loud raucous party. This year we filled the house with 23 people. Ryan emerged victorious in our "Minute to Win It" tournament. There was bingo, a wild dance party, magical entertainment, and a very dramatic Euchre loss by a very competitive guest who shall remain nameless. At midnight we fired up the horns, the confetti went flying, and balloons fell from the skylights.

Yes, I will make my guests dip their noses in Vaseline and use it to move cotton balls around.
