Count down to Noon?

Wyatt, my Mom, my niece Neriah and my sister Rachel went to a "Count Down To Noon!" Party at the Tree house Museum.

I made sure that we got there an hour early because last year we went on time and it was already packed with kids and we didn't get tickets to the magic show because it was sold out but this year we got tickets to the FIRST showing!  phew...

As we waited for the party to officially start we went to their art garden and made New Years hats.

 

 

After that we played with the toys and ran around until they announced that it was almost time to "drop the ball." As we all gathered around the party area they handed out treat bags that had streamers and blow horns. Which then of course my mom took it upon her self to teach Wyatt just how to use.

   

He played with that thing the whole time while we waited for the count down to began.

Then it started...

People began to yell...

They dropped bouncy balls, Streamers flu in the air and pop guns went off (which scared Wyatt.) as we shouted as loud as we could...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

As soon as the New Year ended the New one began.

We picked up our things and headed off for the magic show.

 

The show was amazing! (well at least to the young kids... lol I knew how he did everything.)

   

The magician was funny, the kids laughed but Wyatt was a little confused about what was going on until he brought out his silly bunny then he loved it.

      

After the party we went out to eat came home took a loooooong nap and then hurried off to our friends house were the adults got to celebrate the New Year coming in by playing Xbox, eating a ton of food and drinking sparking cinder after the ball dropped.

Which Wyatt was asleep for. 

GOODBYE 2010 & HELLO 2011!
