The assembly line.

I was smart this year.  I cut all the candies in half and labeled them on this cookie sheet.  That way as people voted for their favorite candy they knew exactly what they were. and look you can see all the insides.  YUMMY!!!!

Here is the first section of people voting for this years favorite candy.

The Valeson's, and The Sorensen's joined us for New Years Eve.

And this years Candy winner is The Peanut Butter Cup.  For the last three years the Oreo Truffle won.  But not this year.  The kids favorite candy were the Hard Candy.  Both ot these recipes were new this year. 

We had an awesome party.  Lots of games and good food and laughs.
The Sorensen's had this game that was so much fun.  You held a card on your head and had to ask yes no questions to try and figure out what the picture was on your head.  LOL it was HILARIOUS.

I just couldn't keep my mouth closed.  I would always help them if they got stuck.

The kids had a pretty fun night.  The older boys played Wii the younger kids went from play with toys, doing crafts and watching a movie.  What a fun New Year Eve Party.
Happy New Year Everyone.  We hope your 2012 is filled with lots of new memories and traditions.
