I always try to be awake and celebrating at midnight. Growing up, my mom never liked New Years - she was almost depressed about it. But I've always tried to look at the new year as a fresh start. Over the years I've done the extremes from partying to nursing a baby (not at the same new years)! This year will probably be the 4 of us watching the ball drop in NYC on tv. Gina has never made it to midnight, though she has tried :)
My mom has a party at her house every New Years Eve. We always head over there for family games, and lots of food! Emma made it to midnight last year, but we will take the pack n play for Bryson. After watching the ball drop it is our tradition to start the new year with a wish. My mom puts a quarter out on the porch for everyone, and we all go outside and make a wish on our quarter.

For the first time in a looooooooooong time, we'll be in Iowa visiting my family. Every New Year's is different for us also!
