Celebrate ALL DAY on New Years Eve... with the Kids, AT HOME!

celebrate nye all day
Why wait until midnight? Get the party started early, and keep the kids busy all day long! Here's how: 

MORNING:
OPTION 1: Right after breakfast, kick off the morning fun by making a time capsule. This can be a simple cardboard box that will contain some of your child's favorite things of the past year (think small toys like stuffies, t-shirts, etc.). Also include a map / floorplan of your child's bedroom, showing where furniture and major decor items are currently arranged. Be sure to tuck in a photo of the family, seal the box tightly, and include opening instructions on the outside of the box (ex: "Do not open until January 1, 2034").

December 1 is swiftly approaching, so it's time to snag your advent calendars for the fun tradition of having a daily "treat" beginning December 1. When I was a kid, our advent calendars consisted of one thin (very thin) piece of fake chocolate, one for each day in December leading up to Christmas Day. My, how things have changed! These days, you can find calendars for a variety of interests, and each year more themes get added to the market!
