After going to church for the last Sunday of the year and visiting our friends in Yishun, we went home to prepare for welcoming the New Year. We especially set the dining table early for New Year's Eve dinner but we actually prepared just an easy dinner for the family.
After dinner and cleaning up, it's Surprise Time for the girls as Jane and I prepared some activities for them to do. First, a quick game of Pie Face. A whopping prize of $20 dollars was at stake and Lia won the game! She got the prize and when she saw that there are two bills, she immediately shared it with her Ate. They kept the prize in their savings jar.
Next activity was a Trio of Piñatas that we hang on a portable clothes rack. Inside were chocolates and candies along with glittery confetti. The girls made piñatas the day before, painted them and hang them outside to dry but unfortunately, they got wet and damaged by the rain. Jane had to make three new piñatas as a replacement.
I also tried hard to look for small sparklers but found none this year so these Party Poppers will do. The look cheesy but is packed with lots of fun.
And lastly, a Treasure Hunt. Ten clues scattered around the house that leads to a treasure chest full of goodies. We named the treasure chest Pinky Piñata, inspired by the Trio of Piñatas. It was a meticulously-wrapped box filled with Shopkins, Kinder Egg Suprise, Haribo Gummies and party noisemakers. It was a hit with the girls, and they had something for the merrymaking when midnight strikes.
We hope it's a night to remember for the girls.
We prayed before going to bed, thanking God for a very good 2017 and hopefully a bigger and better 2018. I wish the same for all of you. Again, Happy New Year!
