    I find it too hard to be hungover when you have kids who need you, it's difficult for me to even stay up that late with dd1 being an early and demanding riser!

    DD1's first new years we had a heap of friends at our place, we put her to bed at the usual time and we all had a laugh, the boys had drinks and we had the music on etc as normal.
    DD slept through it, last year i don't think we did anything at all.

    I don't see why you can't have a nice BBQ, a few friends etc.

    Looks like some friends with children the same age as ours are coming over for a bbq - the kids will entertain themselves for the most part (well, maybe not so much my DS2) and leave us old farts to eat, drink and be merry! Till 9pm-ish, at least. By then our friends will have left to put their youngsters to bed.

    While DH and I may hang about till midnight, there's a better chance we'll ring in the new year snoring soundly. LOL!

    Happy New Year everyone!
