NYE Plans?

What is everyone doing?

Aprilbaby49 · December 2013

We will put N to bed around 7 pm and MIL will be staying overnight while he sleeps. We'll probably be back by 1 or 2 am. This will be the 2nd date night since N was born.

JSS1002 · December 2013

I'd be staying in regardless of LO -- I hate NYE, I call it "amateur night," just a bunch of people who don't know how to be responsible getting hammered. I used to have people over, I'd make good food and have trivial pursuit and wine and stuff,but this year we'll just hang and watch movies!

OhSewCrafty · December 2013

I'm too tired to do anything for NYE. DH and I usually make some fancy cheese fondue and sit around munching all night.

jaime52005 · December 2013

The three if us are going to a friends at 6 be home by 9 and me and hubby will stay up (maybe)

ceamac0127 · December 2013

Well I am 1 of 2 so far that plan on getting chocolate wasted. It will be my first time since LO was born so I'm pretty nervous for the aftermath but MIL is watching her overnight and the next day until we come pick her up so I can nurse a hangover for a bit.
This will be the 3rd year we go over to our friends that live up the street. They have 10-12 people over and we play games. I'm excited for adult fun

Meggs2559 · December 2013

We usually host a party of 20-25 people but friends just bought a house and asked if they could host this year. We had no problem giving that up...so we will be there this year, early enough to get LO to bed at his usual time. Hopefully I make it to midnight! I can barely hold off until 9:00.

Debbie0580 · December 2013

@cmcmillan0901 I just said to DH that that's my idea of a fun New Years - close friends and a game night.

We have no plans so we are going to my parents and will stay in with the kids. Likely not stay up till midnight.

ClandestineX · December 2013

My husband and I got Buffalo Wild Wings gift cards for Christmas. Since I like showing Connor off and let him experience new things, we might have a dinner there, away from the bar though because that is where the loud people will be haha!

Lhyacinth888 · December 2013

Probably sitting around crying and watching old videos of my DS the day before his bday (1/1). I don't know why but New Years combined with my son getting another year older is overwhelming every year. I feel like 2 to 3 is such a big change. He isn't a baby at all anymore or even a toddler... he's a little boy. And my last baby (DD) is almost 9 months and I'll never have a baby again- we're done. Sorry I am just rambling, I know I am going to be a mess. Happy tears and sad tears, it's an overwhelming night for me! <:-P

Happy early bday to your little guy. Whenever I have another, I would love a 1/1 bday. I don't know why, I just always thought it was cool. Fresh new year, fresh new age.

ARJ6511 · December 2013

ILs are coming over so H and I can go out to dinner. It won't be a big night, but we haven't had many date nights since DD was born. I'm looking forward to it!

jss1482 · December 2013

@lhyacinth888 hoping for more happy tears than sad

Myself and two of my best girlfriends all had babies this year so when we usually go out and get chocolate wasted ( usually get a room somewhere) this year our families will get together and NYE will be kid friendly. I am with y'all, don't know if I'll make it to midnight, its 740 here and I am already in bed

It is a good day and he is 1-1-11 so it's pretty cool! :-)

BellaBean76 · December 2013

We are taking G out for dinner at 6pm and then we will put her to bed and hopefully make it to midnight

Lhyacinth888 · December 2013

That Auld Lang Syne song always has me in tears. Damn you song! Lol.

fireflyz56 · December 2013

I have never done anything for New Years before, so having DD is not going to make a difference.

ChicagoBroad26 · December 2013

We're getting together with friends in the city for an early kid friendly dinner at their place and making homemade pizza. Then H and I will come home, put the kids to bed and drink wine while we watch cheesy movies and get into bed well before midnight. Looking forward to it

MrsHartman7 · December 2013

I will watch Rockin New Years Eve...when its 12 in NYC its only 10 here...so I get to ring in the new year and still get to bed at a reasonable time I-)

This is us! Including the cheese fondue.

Love this idea!

PS - am I old? I have no idea what 'chocolate wasted' means? Off to google...

ToAoShesha · December 2013

hahah I will be sleeping!!! Or on the road

DH's grandma isn't doing well and he wants to try and make it out to say his goodbyes... but I am sick so we might wait a day or two to leave

camdensmom32 · December 2013

SO and I are going to be having a few friends over for snackies, games, and drinks! I'm kind of excited. DS will be here so hopefully we don't get too loud and wake him up!

I still do t know what we're doing. I'm starting to feel like butt crack.

Erin10408 · December 2013

No plans now, because I'm sick as a dog, and just want to sleep.

We WERE going to go to a party and bar hop in NE Minneapolis, since my MIL is in town watching Claire due to daycare being closed. I might still send my husband out...I really just want to put Claire to bed and go to bed myself.And I'm really, really, really ready for my MIL to leave....and now she might still stay tonight bc she hates driving in snow and cold and dark. Blah.

pinottoparenthood · December 2013

We were gonna stay in but I just heard from DH that he is getting off work early... So we might go t dinner with the baby, then watch movies and have some champagne once he is in bed. We'll probably have to move the champagne toast up to 10 pm or so.

NicoleSB80 · December 2013

We usually have a party at our house with a dozen friends or so. This year though between LO and just getting back from visiting the I laws yesterday we decided to not have everyone over. Bummed but kinda looking forward to just sitting in te couch in my pjs

JBDamonM · December 2013

We are going to a friensd house and bringing LO. We will attempt to put her to bed there and see how it goes. I have low expectations.

DH is pushing to leave her for the night with MIL. Right now I've said no, but that could change. I don't know - I don't mean to sound like a party pooper, but I just don't feel the need to get smashed and deal with a hangover AND an out of sorts baby tomorrow.....

Plus our friens have a 1 year old who will be home and I suspect the wife could be pregnant - so this could be super low key.

superToots · December 2013

Staying home with the boys. Apps for dinner and some bubbly. I can guarantee we'll both be asleep before midnight! Tomorrow is my birthday so I usually party it up on nye, but not this year. Sleep is just to precious

skidderdo · December 2013

SS: we are taking LO out to dinner... 5:45pm seating... you know you're a parent when.......

TuckleUp · December 2013

We're staying in. We'll cook a nice dinner and won't likely see midnight, unless LO gets up.

arschm02 · December 2013

Sparkling cider, appetizer foods and watching scary movies (Insidious) with DH. I am actually very excited about this!

hatroopes · December 2013

Getting chocolate wasted at home after putting DD to bed (one glass of wine usually does the trick these days).

Same night as mine -- except I don't do scary movies, I scare too easily! But I bought 2 bottles of sparkling cider today.

Is it weird that I'm relieved that I have an excuse to not drink for 9 months!? Haha.

tondraluv · January 2014

@arschm02 my husband laughs at me because I run to the bathroom at night because of that movie. My hall is long and dark & that movie plus ch.2 fcked me up.

kgs0505 · January 2014

DH works until 9, won't get home til 10. so we're in. we haven't done anything special in years, except bring it in with a bang

Kate_C · January 2014

Sitting on the couch bumping. Tried to convince DH to play some games or get a movie or something, but he's heading to bed soon so didn't want to commit. We are so dull. And we had Mexican food for dinner, so chances of sexy time tonight are slim.

I went to happy hour when the office closed early today so I was chocolate wasted at 4 pm. Klassy, I know.

MKC12/22/2006 · January 2014

We went to a friend's house from 6:30-8:30, at which time DS had enough and got cranky. Everyone's kids were there. No way am I making it till midnight!

arschm02 · January 2014

@tondraluv, I turned every light on in the house to go get a bottle for DS at 5am this morning.
