We all used to attempt to go out and party for New Year's Eve. And then one day we realized, "Wait, we ARE the party." So, now we just count down the new year at my parents' house every year. It's loud and fun and the kids stay up with us, and then I'm sure my mom and dad are pretty happy when we all go home.
A party of this scale means that everyone has to have a job.
Dad's job is to plan enough food for all 12 of us. He usually hears wrong and plans enough food for 1200 of us. That happens when you get old and your hearing starts to go...
I don't know who else was in charge of catering, but I know they were pretty much crazy.
Jen is in charge of party hats and prizes. It is required that at least one hat each year ought to involve bikini tops.
Matthew is the videographer.
Jonah is in charge of sleeping through the entire party.
And, of course, every good party needs a band.
I am the drummer. I am ALWAYS the drummer.
And these are my backup musicians.
I have to watch out for this one...
...He can get a real attitude.
Happy New Year from the Kendell Family!
