2. Your NY's resolution
3. Are you going to indulge in a cheeky celebratory champagne? No flaming!

leenziepops · December 2014

1. BBQ at my BFFs place. Just made a delicious summer berry trifle to bring over
2. Don't be afraid to cut ties with unhealthy friendships. I don't need the petty and the shitty
3. Maybe a small sip at countdown. For the rest of the night I have sparkling grape juice. Yummy!

MrsMonogrammed · December 2014

1. How are you party animals celebrating NYE?
H's parents have a small party at their house every year with some of their family friends...its low key with lots of food. My idea of a good time this year;) we also have an ultrasound scheduled to find out the sex that day:)

2. Your NY's resolution
I don't really have one, I almost never keep them.

3. Are you going to indulge in a cheeky celebratory champagne?
Nope, MIL bought me lots of sparkling grape juice for the occasion:)

KimberlyandThor2014 · December 2014

1. We will probably stay home and watch some good movies. I don't know if I'll make it to midnight awake!

2. This year I am focusing on setting personal boundaries for myself...love what @pickles26 said: don't set yourself of fire to keep others warm. So beautifully worded!

3. I may have a sip or two of mead or wine, but because I also have to watch my blood sugar on top of it, I feel like it makes drinking alcohol that much more iffy for me.

Happy coming New Year everyone!

stanlyku · December 2014

1. We're going to Philly to celebrate with our besties. We spend all day cooking amazing food together and all night eating it

2. I'm just trying to stay as healthy and happy as I can! Luckily this baby girl is making all that seem so easy to do.
3. I may have some champagne at midnight...but if I'm being honest with myself, I'll most likely pass out around 10 I-)

luvindanimals · December 2014

1. I seriously doubt I make it to midnight but if I do we will just watch the ball drop on tv.

2. My New Years resolution is to lose 10-15 pounds in June lol! No really this year I am going to play on my phone less and play with DS more. Can't believe he will be two in like 8 days! Time goes by fast!

3. No champagne here. Not really much of a drinker.

Happy almost new year to all!

JTA2426 · December 2014

1. I work New Year's Day, so no big plans. My bestie is coming in today with her kids, though.
2. I don't really make resolutions, but we have got to get our house in order before this baby comes. So that's the goal.
3. May have a sip or two of champagne, but since there's no partying for me, there's not any point.

katier29 · December 2014

DH and I will be home...doing nothing which I find to be nice.
New year resolutions would be to lose the baby weight asap this child makes its appearance and we need to budget better
Nope no drinks, I would love too but I just stay away.

ksimo6 · December 2014

1. How are you party animals celebrating NYE? We will either go to my BILs house for a little bit or just stay home and eat steak in our pajamas. DD goes to bed about 8 and is cutting her bottom molars righ tnow so I am not going to screw wityh the little sleep she is getting.

2. Your NY's resolution - I don't make these... BUT DH and I have already talked about joining the Y after this baby is born and getting into better shape. We could both stand to be more active and shed a few pounds. AND they have a warm pool at our Y so I cam swim and take care of my arthritic joints. Bonus.

3. Are you going to indulge in a cheeky celebratory champagne? Nope. I don't really like champagne and don't really have a desire for a drink right now. Have a sip for me ladies!

erbear84 · December 2014

1. H and I were going downtown, but with highs in the teens, I think we'll stay home. Maybe get some redbox movies.

2. I don't really make resolutions, but I need to work on making more time for myself and treating myself more kindly.

3. No champagne for me! I was going to buy myself sparkling grape juice, but if I stay awake until midnight it will be a miracle.

flbabychin · December 2014

1. DH and I will be at my parents' this year. They're having a party with neighbors and some family, so I'm excited to spend time with them (we have been with DH's family for the past week for Xmas).

2. To echo others, I don't really make resolutions, but I have a lot of 2015 goals! I think staying healthy - both mind and body - by being kind to myself is my biggest one.

3. No champagne for me this year. I'll be substituting with sparking grape juice.

tiffbot1985 · December 2014

1) going to a friend's party and maybe going to a Caberet in town

2) I don't think I really make resolutions! Just happy and excited with my little family!

3) Nah, I'm just hoping to make it to midnight!

angielayne926 · December 2014

1. Kid friendly "party" at BIL and SIL's.
2. To make mine and DH's relationship more of a priority. I've realized since DS was born, he's my main focus and with #2 coming, I need to make sure DH is getting his fair share of my attention.
3. Nope....not worth in IMO.

ReadyforBaby2 · December 2014

1. How are you party animals celebrating NYE?

In pajamas in front of my TV. Our flight to NYC leaves at 7 am so we will be in bed early on NYE.
2. Your NY's resolution

get organized

3. Are you going to indulge in a cheeky celebratory champagne?

No. Won't be awake long enough. Haha

blu-eyedwife · December 2014

1. How are you party animals celebrating NYE? We always travel for New Year's, and it's asked so stressful since we're just getting back from out of town for Christmas. This year we're staying home and doing a television marathon. And hosting a brunch the next day for our friends.

2. Your NY's resolution - Finish the pile of books on my beside table, travel/ explore the area more, eat out more!

3. Are you going to indulge in a cheeky celebratory champagne? Nope. I got myself a special bottle of sparkling peach juice instead. Kind of a virgin Bellini.

dkleid · December 2014

1. How are you party animals celebrating NYE? I was going to be sitting at home because Dh has to work till 3 am, but now im going with one of my best friends to a house party that she is going to.
2. Your NY's resolution - Try not to let my "friends" get to me. Ive lost a good deal of them over the past 6 months all for stupid reasons and if they want to be petty and childish then thats their issue. We are at different stages in our lives, im married with a baby on the way, one is single and while she is looking will never find her "Mr. Right" because her criteria is to demanding (6'4, Jewish, Rich, and has to be a Doctor or Lawyer. But cant be a dentist or podiatrists because those aren't "real doctors").
3. Are you going to indulge in a cheeky celebratory champagne? No flaming! No Champagne for me. Im going to see if the party im going to will have sparkling non-alcoholic and if not ill bring a bottle for myself!

esampson1983 · December 2014

1. We will watch the Iowa State basketball game (DH went to ISU; I am an Illini but their coach is hot so I watch too). After that we will be lucky if we make it past 10.

2. My goal is to be more organized this year especially before minion arrives. So I have made a cleaning chart and will laminate it for us to try to stick too. I am also looking into more freezer meals. I figure if we get our act together now we will have a manageable system in place when minion comes along.

3. No champagne for me. Maybe some mocktails but more than likely sticking to water.

veggiemo · December 2014

1. How are you party animals celebrating NYE? Staying in and ordering pizza. Another couple is coming over after dinner to ring in the new year.

2. Your NY's resolution: None. I'm perfect. Just kidding, but I really don't make them.

3. Are you going to indulge in a cheeky celebratory champagne? No flaming! Uhh, guess I'm the only one? Sure, I'll have a glass of champagne! A really good friend of mine also found out this morning she passed her final exam to become a licensed architect. We are having dinner out tonight to celebrate and I was totally going to get a beer.

tinavonsparkle · December 2014

We are going to a dinner party with our siblings/best friends. Each couple is in charge of a course and a game/entertainment segment. I still have no idea what I'm going to make as my starter?!

My NYs resolution is to be more relaxed and not get as angry and upset at other peoples actions or their lack of effort. @pickles26‌ - love your quote.

I might have a cheeky sip or two of champers at midnight (if this headache ever goes)

kej0004 · December 2014

1. How are you party animals celebrating NYE? Probably just hanging around the house. I would love to go out, but I'd end up at home by 10 anyways. Plus none of my cute New Year's dresses would fit now anyways.

2. Your NY's resolution: For H and I to keep the house cleaner all the time instead of waiting until a room is filthy and then cleaning it out of necessity.

3. Are you going to indulge in a cheeky celebratory champagne? Probably not. I would if H drank champagne, but he's not big on it and buying a whole bottle for me seems a little uncouth at this point...

scprincessrn · December 2014

1. I'll be at home by myself. DD will be in bed by 8 like always and DH works overnight. I'll probably be in bed by 10. Crazy life here!

2. I want to get all the pregnancy weight off by the end of the year. I figure with breastfeeding and healthy eating, 6 months is reasonable to get it all off.

3. No bubbly for me. I'll more than likely be asleep long before the ball drops.

finchfeeder80 · December 2014

1. How are you party animals celebrating NYE?

We're going to have a fire in our fireplace and probably Redbox/Netflix something. We're going to make pork chops, black eyed peas and crab dip for dinner.

2. Your NY's resolution

Since I can't work on improving myself physically, I'm going to work on me mentally. More specifically how I think and talk about myself. I need to be a good example for my little pickle!
3. Are you going to indulge in a cheeky celebratory champagne? No flaming!

Nah, I'm not much of a drinker, even before getting KU. I think every year I either talk about buying something swanky and either forget to buy it, or forget to open it that night.

willowprincess · December 2014

1. How are you party animals celebrating NYE? Going to my brother's house to celebrate with his family and my other brothers.
2. Your NY's resolution: none. I don't do resolutions.
3. Are you going to indulge in a cheeky celebratory champagne? No. We always get sparkling grape juice for the kids and I'll just have some of that.

redrocksmama · December 2014

1. How are you party animals celebrating NYE?
We're staying in as usual. I'm not big on going out for New Years and DS is in bed by 7:30 anyway, so things will be low key here.
2. Your NY's resolution
No resolutions, but there is a lot on the to-do list to prepare for the new baby, so we'll be working on that.
3. Are you going to indulge in a cheeky celebratory champagne? No flaming!
I doubt I'll have champagne (not a big fan), but I may have a little red wine as a special treat.

dkleid - this is HILARIOUS. She will be single for a very long time. Wow.

girlyjo · December 2014

1. There's a church function that we might attend otherwise we're homebodies. =D
2. Positive attitude is my new year's resolution. I've been so down on myself this year so next year I'm gonna give life a smile.
3. Nah, no champagne for us I'd much rather have hot cocoa in this frigid weather.

leenziepops · December 2014

1. Not sure yet, probably just snuggling with DH at home. He has to work on Friday so probably won't stay up.
2. Don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm. I second @leenziepops on the unhealthy relationships
3. Probably not, not much of a champagne drinker

Love the quote. This was me 3 years ago. Took me forever to cut off from bitchy friends and I don't know why. I'd say I've improved heaps but NY resolution will be a reminder.

Sunny B · December 2014

1. How are you party animals celebrating NYE?
H's cousin and his wife are coming in from out of town. We are going to go dinner with them, H's brothers, and my gf and her husband at a yummy Irish Pub. Afterwards everyone but my gf is coming back to my house for games. We'll see how long I last.
2. Your NY's resolution
Curse significantly less. Hopefully cut it out all together.
3. Are you going to indulge in a cheeky celebratory champagne? No flaming!
I'm going to have sparkling white grape juice

BabyList · December 2014

1. How are you party animals celebrating NYE? We are having a family night with the in-laws. We will be frying junk food!

2. Your NY's resolution? Gain at least 15 pounds

3. Are you going to indulge in a cheeky celebratory champagne? No flaming! Absolutely not! I don't believe in drinking while pregnant.

mcp6286 · December 2014

1. Going to hibachi and then bowling with my brother, his fiancée, and some couple friends. Will likely head home by 10/11 pm unless this pregnant lady gets a major second wind! Luckily the people we're going out with are cool either way.

2. Our resolution is to be better with our money. My secondary resolution is to be back to my pre-baby weight by Sept 1, since I'm a bridesmaid in a wedding on Sept 12.

3. My DH saved me about 2 sips of the last bottle of white wine he drank for the occasion...can't wait!

.

DH is also a Cyclone. And their coach is super hot, I agree.

1. We might have a couple of friends over, but we still don't know a lot of people here (we moved in July).

2. Losing the baby weight in June. I am already almost at the top of what I gained with DD.

3. No champagne for me, but I might steal a sip of DH's wine. Also very unlikely I will be awake until midnight.

ohiodoxiemama08 · December 2014

1. How are you party animals celebrating NYE? Movie and pizza at home. We invited some friends over but not sure anyone's coming.
2. Your NY's resolution? I resolved a long time ago to stop making resolutions! I always try to live better/be happy every year. My main goal is to make it through my last semester of grad school, graduate in May, have the babe in June and hopefully start full time employment in August!
3. Are you going to indulge in a cheeky celebratory champagne? No flaming!

Nope. May get some sparkling cider but doubtful.

AmberC311 · December 2014

1. How are you party animals celebrating NYE?
heading over to my parents house with DH, my brother and his pregnant wife for a delicious feast!
2. Your NY's resolution
can't say I have one this year!
3. Are you going to indulge in a cheeky celebratory champagne? No flaming!
Sure am! But I am making it into a mimosa so it will last longer

sparkling juice and water the rest of the night

klkonwi · December 2014

1. I will be working a 7pm to 7am shift. Booo!!!!
2. Putting friends who don't make an effort on the back burner.

and trying to use less curse words!
3. No because I'll be ringing in the new year hopefully delivering the New Years baby!!!!

Aren't you awesome taking the NY shift! What would we do without doctors!

disney815 · December 2014

1- I'm staying in and watching movies! Such a crazy lady.

2- my resolution is to be more patient, with everyone!

3- nope, sparkling cider for me! My DH is working until 11, so no one would even be with me to drink a glass for me to even have a sip!

klkonwi · December 2014

I'm not a dr but an l & d nurse! It's my lovely mandatory holiday!!! But yes it will still be fun to ring in a New Years baby!

sammyca · December 2014

1. Already NYE here in Australia. Kids in bed early. Just cooking a yummy dinner for DH and I. He proposed 6 years ago tonight and we haven't left the house for New Years Eve since. It's our special holiday at home.

2. Always the same resolution for me (because I'm not very good at it), don't sweat the small stuff.

3. Will have a very small glass of a good white wine with dinner.

AmyCee · December 2014

1) spending time with a friend and her fiancé - hadn't seen her in 10 years and changed our plans to go past her place again on the drive home because she's so great

2) to limit my screen time like I do for DS1! And to get back on a workout schedule!
3) No alcohol for me - DH is in recovery and while I still drink when not pregnant it's just not necessary when I am given the circumstances!

I guess he's 6'2" now though
