We are so fortunate to be blessed with many great friends. And there's no better place to ring in the new year than with friends. Leslie Egli had her annual New Year's Eve party in her new house and we had a great time! Here are a few of the highlights: 
Rick and Theresa 
Rick and Theresa The girls -- doing what we do best -- talk!
I'm not sure what this game is called, but the guys all hold hands in one line while the girls sit across from them and hold hands in another line. Only one guy and one girl on the end can have their eyes open and start a squeeze down the line when someone flips "heads" on a coin. The last girl and guy at the other end of the line try to grab an orange first as soon as they feel a squeeze. The guys were lightning fast -- but they did CHEAT for part of the time. (How do you pass a squeeze when you're not even holding hands and still win the round?) They guys didn't like holding hands, but it was sure funny!
Some of the girls decided to play "Spoons". We decided to take pictures of each other while we were learning the rules. (Tami, Kristy, Leslie H., Theresa, Dana)
A very fast and competitive game of Spoons. 
The final four in Spoons. (Leslie E., Tami, Leslie H. Theresa) Leslie H and I were the winners (we called it a tie even though she should have won). We were both collecting kings.
A few of us played a crazy game of "Dippedy Dippedy Dip". We looked hilarious jumping around in circles while saying "Dip Dip Dip". And no, we weren't drunk!
The group just before midnight. Leslie decorated her Christmas tree with the hats and noise makers.
Us with the Hickmans. I'd like to know what silent conversation Rick and Ira are having.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A party is NOT a party without the Halversons!!! So glad you came!
You are all lucky I wasn't there or I would have crushed you all at spoons!!!!
It was fun partying with you guys! You did a good job trying to explain the orange game, except that I thought we were supposed to keep our eyes closed at the end. We really should have won!
Nice pics of the party! Sorry we couldn't be there!!!!!!! Hey, reading your blog, how does someone "roll" heads with a coin? Did you mean flip? Sorry, I'll stop being so "flippin" picky! Hope to see you guys soon!!
I say "ditto" to Egli's comment!!
