Athens hosted the Summer Olympics, the Red Sox ended an 86-year World Series drought, and Usher's "Yeah!" topped the year-end Hot 100. George W. Bush won a second term.

  • Play the hits of 2004

    Open the playlist with "Yeah!" and "Burn" by Usher, then add "This Love," "Hey Ya!," "Goodies" and "Lean Back." Save "Toxic" by Britney Spears for the dance-floor finale.

  • Then-and-now photo wall

    Tape baby pictures from 2004 beside the year's headlines: the Mars rovers, the first Gmail accounts and the Red Sox parade. Add recent photos so guests can see how far everyone has come.
