Super Heroes are Real!

New Year's Eve party planning starts the day after the last party, that would be New Year's Day! We always have to have a silly family photo to get into the swing of things and here it is... (Nice photo shop work Dad, love those muscular super heroes!)
The family at the party, everyone accounted for, all Ghostbuster in check with proton packs (thanks Josh and Aaron). No Stay-Puff Marshmellow Man in sight!
Getting set-up. We begin at the community center at 3:00. Six hours is barely enough time, but it happens every year!
Building the balloon chutes!

Since this is a family affair, everyone helps...including Spidey and...

The Chocolate Monster, Audrey!

Melissa and Dad, working on balloons!

Jaimee and Dena went all out with their silver spray-painted boots from the Goodwill!

I just love John and Bea! They are always ticket number one and ticket number two at every New Year's Eve Party!

Clark Kent aka Jeremy

This is the top of my brother Josh's head, confetti filled!

My friend, Cyndi. So glad that she and Donald came!
Mike helps spread some confetti on his sister and Donald!

I'm not sure what that face is all about...I'm sure I had confetti in my mouth though!

Gina, Terry and April

Just before midnight when the balloons full of money come tumbling out...

Let the madness begin! Let me tell you a secret, the $100 bill is in a red balloon! Oh, was!


Sifting through the confetti for any $$ remains!
At the DJ booth

Derek...$100 richer!

Stacy and Cedric...hard to believe that Stacey used to be in my Young Women's group...sheesh! They drove up from San Francisco to come party with us!

Ruth and Rod...more party animals!

Chris and Jody

Me and Paul...gotta love those self-portraits!

...and the cleanup begins!

Rod and I help clear an area...hee hee hee!

...and then April and I help mess it up again!

Confetti angel??
Then Ruth and I take a running, sliding dive into a huge pile...wow!

A short video clip of some great fun!
