Today I went to the store to prepare for Toddler New Year's Eve. This will be the second annual TNYE (it was begun by Jen and, frankly, I think it's a quite ingenious idea. We get together around 3, have dinner and play games and stuff until toddler bedtime and then declare it officially New Years!

Works well for us. I'm not really sure how other parents of toddlers handle this holiday because I can't imagine keeping Ben up/out of his element much past his bedtime. He just FAH-reaks out. It's not worth it. And since his bedtime is between 7 and 8 these days, if we went anywhere, we'd have to leave when the party was just getting started anyway.

How do YOU do New Years Eve with kids?
