We found beer for Jes! |
2011: Thanksgiving in Paris
2012: Christmas in Rome
2013: New Year's in Paris
2014: TBD, but definitely none of the above, and not in Paris!
This year we had about a week and a half together to celebrate a barely
belated Christmas, and ring in the new year with our best laughter. We
spent the in-between days on a road trip to the castles of the Loire Valley, and enjoying the mild winter weather in the streets of Paris.

Just the beginning of our crazy night of laughter! |
To set up, every person writes down 8-10 famous people on slips of paper and tosses them into a bowl/hat. It is a game of three rounds: Round 1, Taboo without "Taboo words" (just explain whatever is on your card); Round 2, describe your card with only one word; and Round 3, Charades (if I have to explain this, you should go re-live your life).
What makes this game so much fun is that you use the same cards every round, creating unbeatable inside jokes from the cues we choose to give each other. It's definitely one of those "you had to be there" games, so I won't bother you with the particulars, and the six of us will find our jokes funny forever. I will say that it was hysterical to play around our age gaps (32, 30, 27, 22, 22, and 20!). Our definitions of "famous" all learned something (or someone) new!
Enjoy our final moments of 2013 with us, with our multilingual countdown!
Languages included: English, Spanish, French, German, Hebrew, and Chinese! We Americans are working hard to move up in the world of cultural literacy.
HAPPY 2014 FROM OUR NYE FAMILY TO YOURS!!!
MEILLEURS VOEUX!!!
