We had the most hilarious Tasteless New Year's Eve Party. I didn't even have to clean the house. The decorations came from my boxes of previous holidays...Valentines, Easter, 4th of July, Halloween, etc. Everyone dressed tacky. My Mom thought Bundy was sporting a purchased coat of chest hair! Each couple gave a 5 minute tasteless presentation: ~bragging about children's sports achievements~ reading a story for kindergarten children and telling what the teacher is REALLY thinking about the children~bragging about sports prowess (84 year old mom)~ guest etiquette~buying a pension plan~doing a slow dance with your spouse and needing to "get a room"~weighing everyone and spotlighting their problem areas~passing a jar around for donations for a college couple~leading the group in a nursery song complete with body actions~~and my personal favorite....a video about tonsil stones. You should check that out on you-tube. Sick beyond words to express. Which is just what we were after!! Way to go Lindsey:)
We took all the toilet paper away and I won't even mention what Sara did to one of the toilets. We did post a sign on one of the john's that said: if it's yellow/let it mellow. If it's brown/flush it down. This was a night when decency took a vacation. And I never knew how refreshing that could be. 
I want to end this year's history with my testimony of Jesus Christ. I am so grateful to be a member of Christ's church. It has provided me with a pattern of living and raising my family that is a blessing of untold worth. I don't know who or where I would be without this foundation to guide me. I am so thankful for the Atonement and the comfort I feel knowing that I can be forgiven if I repent and turn to Him. I know He lives and loves me and each one of us. I know I am His child. I know He restored the Gospel when He and His father appeared to the young boy, Joseph Smith, in upstate New York on a beautiful spring day. I know He rose from the grave and that I will too. I know we will live together as families in the next life. I am forever grateful for the earthlife family I have been given; my birth family and the good husband I have and my beautiful daughters and grandchildren.

What a great idea, and obviously a total blast....
Carol gave me the details today, Mary Ann and I was literally cackling out loud in the restaurant. TOTALLY Tacky! Doug and I started planning ours tonight. You're always amazing! Love, me
Oh how I hate missing those parties. Had I know you were throwing one I would have crashed it.They get more tasteless every year!
Annie, I am Roxane Cox's cousin and she told me what an amazing lady you are and said that I would probably love to look at your blog......WOW was she right! I don't miss a post! Have you ever thought about writing a book about fun family activities, I would be the first to buy a copy! Thanks so much for sharing! Becky
I wish I had known about this, I would have totally showed up uninvited with all my kids.
What a great party! I love the randomness of everything and am sure it was just nice to let loose after such a busy holiday. Too bad we had to go home!
That looks like it was a lot of fun! I wish I could have been there. It was fun to hear about what you guys did and see some pictures.
Oh, that party was a classic. I'm so impressed you posted picts of you and Trace in your getup. What a great end to a perfect day for us!
Your party look hilarious Annie. So sad we missed out. Hope your new year is treating you well!
I have to adopt this party idea. Sounds like a blast! My favorite tacky outfit is the one with the REALLY LOUD jacket and red tie. What a scream! TFS!
What a blast! You guys are so fun and creative! Wish I were family and could have been invited!
