Teen New Year's Party!!!

So it took me 6 months to recover from Carlie's birthday party--and it may take me another 6 months to recover from this:)--but we hosted a New Year's Party for 9 teenagers!!!  And it turned out AWESOME! 

First on the party itinerary--IKEA Scavenger Hunt!!!  We had 9 teens so we broke them up into 3 teams and set them off in IKEA with 20 tasks to accomplish in 1 hour:)  These are seriously some of the most creative teens I've ever dealt with.  We got some SERIOUSLY funny photos! 

Mitchell, Rachel, Savvy, Kayleah, Adam, LJ, Carlie, Lois, & Tayte

Here are a few of my favorite tasks and pictures:

"High School Musical" jump in front of a piece of red furniture.

"Watching a SCARY MOVIE!"

"Holding a stack of 10 pillows"

"Having an important business meeting"

"Team members wearing capes"

"Pretending to use the bathroom:)"

"Stuffed animals on heads"

"Being overcome with emotion over a piece of artwork"

"Pretending to be asleep"

"Acting out a fairytale" (This is Beauty & the Beast:)

"Build a fort" (2 teams in on this one:)

"Write an inspirational quote on a chalkboard"
No chalk available so Tayte is LOOKING inspirational:)

This one is just funny--Lois is adopted and jokes
here that she found her long lost brother:)

They are all exhausted afterwards!!!

Then back to our house for even MORE FUN!!!

Dance Party!!!

Games--this one was INTENSE--"The Candy Bar Game"

Chubby Bunny!!!

Kayleah wins!!! (8 marshmallows in her mouth:)

Countdown to midnight and sparklers!!!

I honestly can't remember the last time I stayed up until midnight--I know!  I'm a fuddy duddy:)  But it sure was fun.  Everyone had a great time, we didn't get kicked out of IKEA, AND there was NO BLOOD!!!  YAHOO!!!  Happy New Year's!!!  We kicked it off right this year!!!
