How was your New Year? Ours was AWESOME!
We decided to welcome it with a Camping Party! [WARNING: Photo Overload]
We started out early and put up some tents. We had this Igloo tent which peanutbutter♥ brought home a couple of years ago, a Hello Kitty tent sis bought and a makeshift tent made from one our plastic tables wrapped with a large piece of brown cloth.
And what is a Camping Party without S’mores?
Smores is our first food for the day! We had different flavors of marshmallows to go with ours. We had strawberry beehive marshmallows, grizzly bears marshmallows, flower marshmallows, and vanilla marshmallows.
For the cookies, we had oreos and graham. For the chocolate, we had Hershey’s {of course!} and Nutella!
The kids are wearing polka dots to represent the money flowing in the coming year!
I love s’mores and just couldn’t stop eating it until we ran out of chocolate….
We also had some chocolate Fire Logs, Gummi Snakes, Twigs and Goldfish around…
Because of all the sweets, I kept the personalized acrylic tumblers filled with cold water.
The kids went fishing too! They fished for for real fishes….
..and plastic ones from the fish pond we set up.
There was no need to worry because we have a whole can of Bait lying around…..
We used it until we have a bucket full of the fresh Catch of the Day.
I also made some Barbecue Grill Cupcakes which I will tell you more about in the following days…
Meanwhile, in our real-life grill, Kuya Noel is in charge of grilling the hotdogs….wait, where is Kuya Noel??
We grilled some beef, chicken, chicken with cheese and footlong hotdogs…
Hotdog Condiments and sodas
We also had grilled corn after the hotdogs. These small pieces of boiled ones were for the kids…
All for one and one for all!!!
We had some Foiled Dinner heated over the grill by night fall.
We didn’t have any sparklers or fire crackers this year. We just played with lights… and some trumpets.
It was some really good partying for the first day of the year!
I guess there will be a lot more great parties in 2013, huh?
