What is everyone planning for New Years?

We Air BnBd a house by the beach close to DHs family so we'll be spending New Years for a few hours with DH brother, his wife and their 3 yrs old then hoping DH mom can babysit so we can get out after the kids go to bed! But don't have any definite New Years plans yet

We're undecided. We have 2 party options but also a baby that doesn't sleep. We'll probably play it by ear that day if we can find a tentative babysitting option.

I was just going to write if LO is still sleeping this crappy I'm with the cats. Or at least home by midnight.

[carolyngrace]

We've done a games night with friends the last several years.. we'll probably go and put LO to bed in their bedroom until we leave. It's pretty tame, though I usually get kind of drunk, stop playing games, and start heckling people (mostly DH) and stuffing my face. I think they're used to me by now because my friend texted that she got an "easy" game we can play later in the evening

MIL & FIL always have a (small) party at their house, but DNW to bring DD because FL used to smoke inside. He's stopped since DD has been born but everything still smells like smoke! I'm expecting a fight with DH bc I refuse to spend the night there with DD like we used to do. Not to mention FIL always falls asleep on the couch with the tv on 73436 volume that you can hear all night.

As of right now we arent doing anything. There is a possibility that we might be doing an early dinner with another family ,but we are not 100% sure yet.

[sugarkissed]

We are going to a friend's house for the evening. Games, food, some drinks. I'll put the kids to bed upstairs and wake them for midnight as I've always done with DD1. They are still too young to understand, but my parents always woke me up to countdown together and it's one of my favourite memories.

We will probably head home right after the countdown.. lol.

It will be like any other night here. With two kids 2 and under and the babe still not sleeping or taking a bottle plans would be way more hassle then they are worth. But watch out NYE 2016, this Mama will have 3 years of pent up nye partying to let loose

[beersandweirs]

ashbash baby didn't take a bottle until like a month and a half ago, despite trying since about 4.5 weeks old. She now takes it at the nanny's but we have yet to try to give it to her at night or MOTN, so that pretty much decides our NYE fates as well. I know we should eventually see if she will go down after getting a bottle or take one in the middle of the night, so we would have a chance of someone watching her overnight, but I just can't seem to think of a time where that would be okay.

We are probably just having one other couple over, order some food, and have lots of wine. MIL offered to let M sleep over (first night not at home). After today's argument, not so sure about those plans anymore.

[billyhorrible]

We have a place in the desert we're heading to with my mom, her boyfriend, my MIL, and my aunt for the week. No crazy partying, but I always make a big fancy meal (my dad did this growing up and it always seemed so special since we didn't do Christmas dinner) After the kids go bed, DH and I will sneak out to the hot tub. Then come back in and watch the ball drop with whoever is awake.

[alayne926]

We're renting a house through airbnb with some friends for the night. I'm excited to have a "grown-up" night with no kids. We're going to go out to a nice dinner and then play games/cards till midnight if we make it.

[Widget123]

Something like this:



DH and I spend NYE apart because if we were together he would insist we stay up really, really late, then leave me with kids while he sleeps in really late the next day. No thank you.

[jessila]

Uh. We might invite our BFFs over but I haven't made it to midnight any night this year. Guessing I'll be the cat in the bowl.

DD1 was a bottle hater too and I just dealt until we weaned at 14 months, while an overnight would have been nice its a short time in the grand scheme of things

[mrsdee1982]

DH will be working, so I will be home alone with C. Partay!

[tjanca22]

DH works NYE, so I invited my family and their kids over for a ton of junk food, movies, games and what's best is everyone plans to leave by no later than 9! I'll be snuggled up to my pillow at midnight!

[pghtruelove]

We're heading to DC to spend NYE with my friends and their newborn. Hopefully the babies will sleep and we can drink!

[Bluedaisy]

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING....the family we usually play games and watch the fireworks with is in Hong Kong for a wedding and LO goes to bed before the fireworks so we're staying home.

However I do very much plan on watching the Rose Bowl Parade on New Years day.

Edited to add: I mean on TV, someday I want to go see it in person but this year I'll be watching it on TV, probably while undecorating my house.

[mcp6286]

This topic is currently being debated at our house.

My plan (which was made in Oct) is to go to Pittsburgh and spend NYE/NYD with my BFF and her family. DH was all "yeah let's do it!" Until yesterday. Now he's whining about wanting to stay home. I know if we do that, he'll want to invite his parents over and I'm not doing that.

Our other option is to get a sitter for H and go to the beach with BIL/SIL and their friends. They're all 26 and child-free so I'm thinking that if we do that we'll have to stay up till midnight and this old lady isn't into that.

We won't be doing anything out of the ordinary on NYE. Put baby to bed and then we will make our way to bed by 9 or 10, I am sure.

New Years Day will be a crazy day. We live basically on Mummers Row - so after the parade all of the Mummers strut down 2 street and party all.day.all.night. Last year we had people peeing and throwing up on our street (we live in an alley off of where they will be strutting). I am worried about naptime and bedtime. Hopefully the noise level won't be too bothersome. It's only 1 day a year that we need to put up with this - that's what I keep telling myself!

What is a mummer? They all live in this same place? Am I terribly uncultured for not knowing this??

[kemdupuis]

I'm in a wedding on NYE and the ILs are taking care of B for the night. I will definitely be drinking. A lot. Especially because the wedding is one of my college friends- and it will be like a mini reunion.
