As for us, since having kids, we're homebodies... which I enjoy. I always found that although New Year's Eve is marketed as being the pinnacle of celebrations... it would usually fall flat. Too expensive, too crowded and someone always ends up spilling on your favorite shoes. Am I right?
When the kids are a little older, I'd love to throw a family-friendly New Years Eve bash, but until then... it's all about our little family of 4 staying up late (or at least trying to) and cuddling on the couch while listening to good music and nibbling on yummy snacks. Can't think of a better way to ring in the New Year!
Have a Safe & Happy New Year!
