Happy New Year’s!
New Year’s Eve is a time of year that people celebrate. As a young adult, before marriage and kids, I would always dress up and go to a fun party or local event to celebrate right into the new year. Now that I have two toddlers, two dogs and a husband, my ideal New Year’s Eve is much different.
For the first couple years of my oldest son’s life, I was lucky to make it until 9 p.m. before crashing. He wasn’t a very good sleeper until he was older, so I didn’t have it in me to stay up very late. This year, I am actually looking forward to staying up and watching the ball drop. In the past, I have been lucky enough to wake up in time to see the ball drop.
I think we’ll make some snacks, chips and dips and other appetizers and cuddle on the couch. I enjoy watching everyone bundled up in Times Square as the countdown begins. I think my boys are old enough now that they’ll get a kick out watching the ball drop and seeing the sights and sounds. Usually, some neighbors shoot off fireworks in the neighborhood as well.
What are your New Year’s Eve traditions? What will you do this year?
And, most importantly, can I have your favorite dip recipe?
