This year we did a murder mystery. People seemed to really enjoy themselves. I was going to have a bonfire into which people could throw their negative thoughts (written down and sealed in an envelope) but it rained! Yes! It rained! In Ottawa! On New Years' Eve!
So we soaked in the hot tub instead, and solved a murder mystery. Every person in the room is a suspect. The whole exercise resembles a game of "Clue", you know....Col. Mustard in the Library with a Candlestick... Clearly the camera was struggling in the low light, but hey...you can't have everything!
Top pic....Ian G. asking the difficult questions. Thats my living room...lots of weapons on the walls. Beside Ian is his lady wife, Alison P. who is carefully keeping notes. To Ian's right is Carl and Anita, while Erin (age ten!) is struggling to stay awake on her mom's lap.
middle pic....same crew. The standing fellow is Dan who is in the process of evading another question. He writes these games...and I want to get him to write me one for next year.
And in the bottom pic is Andrew and his lovely wife Lisa. And a proper view of Erin's mom, Tracy. Erin ate too much and had a tummy ache most of the night. Well, what can I say...you have to learn sometime.
Surprisingly enough, though we had 20 people there, there was very little drinking. I think most people knew they had to drive later on, and a couple of people crashed over night, mostly because they were good to drive, but TOO TIRED!
A good time had by all.

FUN! I have been to these parties before. So, what was the murder? Who did it? Did anyone figure it out? I kinda like the "action" in the pictures, actually.
Ooooh what a wonderful idea for a party!
I love how people crashed because they were tired,hee hee
