2013 New Years Bags

New Years Bags 2013

We have New Years Bags every year on New Years Eve.I am pretty sure this is our 9th year doing this fun family activity.  I usually start planning my theme and what I want to put in the bags around Thanksgiving. For every hour, there is a bag with a short phrase, rhyme or riddle taped on the front. They take turns being the one to open the bag and inside is something to do/wear/play/eat for that particular hour. 

Our Theme this year is Marvel Superheros. The rhyme is in red.  Photos to follow the opening of the bags. :) 

10am  Marvel Tee Shirts
