All that is the intro to a Sparkle-rama New Year's Eve party at the St. Paul Children's Museum that our family went to last night. We were lucky enough to win tickets (nice surprise). I didn't realy think about the title (Sparkle-rama) and about how much glitter that would include. It did indeed include glitter and about anything else that sparkled. We all had a lot of fun and tried to avoid the glitter which worked out pretty well. We all made sparkley hats and sparkley noise makers. We had a blast. You can see some of our creations below.
There was also a kids band, complete with a lead singer rockin' the air guitar. I guess it wasn't really an air guitar, it was an inflatable guitar, but it had air in it nonetheless. The kids enjoyed the music, dancing and playing a little inflatable guitar themselves.
The highlight for me was the "ball drop" at 8pm. There was a big countdown and then they released a bunch of inflatable balls. I didn't even think about what the ball drop might look like at the Children's Museum. There is a 4 story atrium where they dropped the balls from the 4th floor. It sure was a lot of fun hitting the balls around through the crowd after the big drop. The only downside was that Clay and I got separated from Bryan and Jaden because of a restroom break needed right before the ball drop. We found each other shortly afterward but I missed my additional kiss(es) at the stroke of 8pm.
Bryan wearing his 2009 hat and making the hat requested by Jaden.
Here are my hat creations. Clay asked for a star and a smiley face out of pipe cleaners which was a bit challenging.
Here is the 'J' 'a' 'd' 'e' 'n' hat that was requested.
