We don't do much for NYE - our first one together, we went to a bar and partied like rock stars. Our 2nd one together, we were asleep by like 10pm. And we've gone out one other time but came home early to avoid being on the roads with drunks and had a small gathering at our house (I was pregnant with DS #1).
We have no plans and I will probably go to bed early like last year!
Re: What are your NYE plans?
We are hanging out at the house too, like we do every year. We will probably order a pizza and do some appetizers and have a little party, just the three of us. I'd rather stay in these days then go out... I'm such a home body.
We get dressed up and go out to a really nice restaurant with a big group of my friends- the kind of place that you wouldn't pay for any other night. We make the reservation really late, so that we are still at the restaurant at midnight. The nice thing about this is that we don't have to leave until J is already asleep for the night. MIL gets the most boring babysitting gig ever.
It's a tradition we've had for years, but I don't know if it will last once we all start having kids (one of my friends is single, one is divorced, and two of them are just getting married next year, so we are the only parents in this particular group so far).
Thank you for writing my reply for me.

You're welcome!! Haha...
For the past 7 years, we've hosted NYE at our house for 10-20 people. Most of them stay the night, so we avoid the whole drunk driving thing - but it means drunk people at the house. We're not hosting this year, and it feels weird not to be planning for it! We're going to a friend's house, they will have her son for the night so it'll be low key and fun. I'm excited about it, because we don't get to see them very often.
During the day we will be at my nephews birthday party, then go home and try to stay up until midnight...i could bet a million this will result in both DH and I asleep on the couch by 11.
I saw a balloon thing on pinterest where you put an activity inside the balloon written on paper to do over the next hour, poping one each hour to keep you busy till midnight, I have been thinking about doing this with more adult like activities inside for DH and I.... maybe a sexy version.
I have no idea. My Mom volunteered to keep Owen, but I don't know what we'll do...
