and staying home? Its 9pm here and hubby and i are happily sitting at home doing nothing. Its our first year as parents, and although we were invited to a bbq with friends, i just didnt fancy dragging our 5month old out. Plus hubby has been working non stop all year so hes more than happy to just chill at home and watch dvds. I fully expect we'll both be asleep long before midnight. My former party self is disgusted with me. lol
 
We are! We have a 6 month old and a 4 1/2 year old who is a stinkin' crab when he's tired... so yeah, we aren't going anywhere! We haven't really done anything for New Year's since my son was born! Too tired to! lol!
 
Tony is working, like he does most every NYE, he's a cop. I'll be home alone with the three kids. We're going to a movie today and the kids want to go to McDonald's LOL. I am going to run into Wal-Mart for a couple of things I need to get sorted out for skating and work this week. How exciting LOL! Feels kinda lame compared to my younger days, but we haven't gone out on NYE since Benjamin was born in 2000, he's worked every year except 1.
 
Another one here. :) Similar to Rachael, with 7 months old and 3 years old, whose hour H is 8 pm, when she goes to bed later, it's horror. :rolleyes: And then the kids get up at 5 or 6 am, no mather what day it is and at what time the parents were going to bed last night. :) I think we're not up until midnight. :)
 
I've pretty much always been a hermit crab on NYE even when young and single. Today I woke up at 5am so don't think I can stay awake until midnight. My 5yo has been asking to stay up until midnight though so we shall see.
 
Ditto, Mimi! I've never been one to go out on NYE. So this year will be like all the others. I'll be cuddled up at home with my kiddos and Tim. I may or may not stay up till midnight.
 
Well usually we are..we aren't ones to go out and party it up ever lol...but tonight we're also celebrating our anniversary which was on the 29th and my parents offered to babysit so we could have a date night...we'll be home well before midnight though and probably snoozing away by then lol
 
Our small group from church is having a get together which will no doubt be very child friendly - but I'm not up for it, so we're staying home. I think my dh would be glad to try and go - but I've been going to bed at 9:30 every night to try and get enough sleep between feedings...so I think I'd rather stay home. Sleep is very important to me right now lol.

Ditto on all points. :)
 
We'll be staying in like always... because I'm just a bit of a hermit in general, LOL!

I was thinking of doing a movie night with the boys... popcorn, junk foods, etc. But we'll see because right now it's snowing so I don't know how I'm going to get out to the store.
 
in my former life I was a MAJOR partier...but for the last probably 6 years we've been in bed WELL before midnight and I kinda like it like that. NYE is amateur night anyway...too many crazies out there for me.
 
Hubby and I are new parents this year too, so we will be hermit crabs as well and stay in! We will probably be up and celebrate with a kiss but thats about it.
 
Hmm... we'll be out of the house... but sitting in a radio studio. My FIL has a big band radio show... has been doing it for the last 30 some years. Well, we all will be sitting there until the turn of midnight... I entertaining a cranky 2.5 year old... then we will spend the night in a hotel so kiddo can play in the pool.
 
it's our anniversary and every year around 11:15pmish or so we (along with the kids) take our redneck selves to Waffle House..so we're doing it again this year haha...We had a lot of fun ringing in the new year last year with the crew there. It wasn't busy at all! They gave the kids quarters for the jukebox and we toasted hot chocolate! :)


p.s..i'm not really a redneck
 
Staying in -- and nobody has asked me to watch their kids yet. (It is still early, though).

Lena, Yay! :thumbup: I hope you get to go home today.
 
Yep, we pretty much stay in too. I think we're going out for an early steak dinner (we're both going on diets this year) and will probably be sleeping well before the new year! Babies do that to ya! :)
 
I think I'll be in tonight too...I had plans to go out but slowly I think I've talked myself into staying home...Right now I'm not sure if I'll even make it to midnight...
 
We always stay home for New Year's Eve BUT we have our best friends and their families over for a big fondu dinner and then set off those little "popper" kind of fireworks in the driveway.
 
My husband is going to a party but I just didn't feel up to going. My mom is in town helping us with our sicky kids and I just don't feel like going anywhere!
 
me me, I'll put my 3 month old to bed about 9PM and I'll soon follow.....of course we'll ring in the new year at his 3AM feeding ....me with water and him with his boobie bong!!! :D :D
 
Yep...I am defenitely staying in. I just hope our idiot neighbors do NOT get out at midnight and start shooting their guns in the air. Scares me so bad because they have someone shot every year on the news by people doing just that

I bet the kiddos love this! What a cool tradition!
 
this will mark the 6th nye that ce and i will be sitting home alone hahaha. I wouldn't have it any other way though.. I'm too old for the whole.. party thing now.
 
We've been home for NYE every year since my oldest was born 6 years ago, and that's exactly where we'll be tonight. DH took today off work, so we'll all be hanging out, baking cupcakes for tonight's 7 pm, pre-bedtime kid celebration. Not sure yet what else I'll do with them--I refused to buy noisemakers, since they don't need any help in that department! Then DH and I will order dinner in and watch the countdown. He'll be asleep by 12:15, and I get to check out the new challenges!
 
We pretty much always stay home on NYE too, none of the grandparents ever want to watch our three kids so we can go out that night but we're okay with that! We usually stay home and watch movies and I fix a bunch of snacks...rotel cheese dip, bbq lil' smokies, cheese, pepperoni & crackers and we'll probably make cookies too :)
 
We're staying in, like every year,having a fondue and watching movies. After midnight I'll go take a picture of each of the girls sleeping.

We should have a chat here tonight!
 
We're staying in as well! My parents might stop by, but I'm putting DS to bed at his regular time, so we'll just be hanging out :)
 
We will ring in the new year alone. We are planning to get the kids to bed at their usual time, finish a movie we started last night and then ring in the new year with champagne in the hot tub :D
