No, you are in a different stage of your life now. You are a parent of children. Young children. Ones that can\u2019t be left alone while you party hardy with your friends. New Years Eve and kids are a combination that requires a bit more planning, some patience and perhaps \u2013 just perhaps \u2013 a tip of wine (or champagne)\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.multiplemayhemmamma.com\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_wink.gif\" alt=\";)\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Though it may seem this way as you approach December 31st with the family, all hope is not lost. There are things that you can do with the kids to where you\u00a0<em>and<\/em> the little ones can enjoy the celebration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Special Dinner<\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s the end of the year so celebrate! The kids will surely in a celebratory mood so why not get them involved in cooking? Get some family-friendly recipes that the children can help you make (including baking a cake or cookies for dessert). Timing is everything: start the baking in the afternoon, the dinner preparation in early evening and sit down for a nice meal a bit later than normal. Do your New Years Eve with the kids early if the children are on the younger side. If they\u2019re old enough to stay up late, let them. This night is not the night to insist that they follow\u00a0their usual bedtime rules. It\u2019s New Years Eve and staying up to see midnight is part of the fun, after all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Games Tournament<\/strong> \u2013 How about some old-school entertainment for the family? You can always turn off the\u00a0TV or XBox and gather around the dining room table for a\u00a0Monopoly championship. If your kids are old enough, consider playing this classic game as it is not only fun, but it takes\u00a0<em>time<\/em> (at least a couple of hours) and will get them thinking and strategizing \u2013 which is always a good thing. If the kids are on the younger end of the spectrum, card games are always a favorite, with Go Fish, Crazy Eights and Concentration as great games to keep the little ones occupied.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3)\u00a0Movie Nigh<\/strong><strong>t<\/strong> \u2013 How about a themed evening of entertainment? After the homemade dinner (see point #1), sit the family down to some old classics as well as some new faves. New Years Eve can be a wonderful time for families to bond together over the dinner table (see above) and\u00a0a good movie. As with anything, plan in advance and have your mix of movies ready to go for the big night. That way no time will be wasted deciding on a film that everyone will like.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>4) City Festivals and Parties<\/strong> \u2013 The dilemma of \u201cwhat to do with the kids\u201d has finally sunken in and now most cities have family-friendly activities and entertainment events planned. Whether it\u2019s at the city hall grounds, a popular park or similar landmark, for the most part, these fetes are free. Better yet, they are catered to both adults and children, so you\u2019ll be guaranteed to have activities that will be enjoyed by the whole family. If you\u2019re in\u00a0a part of the world where it\u2019s cold on New Year\u2019s Eve, make sure to bundle up the kids so that frostbite doesn\u2019t ruin your night out. If you\u2019re in a warmer climate, what could be better than ringing in the new year on a beach, or somewhere outside, without a jacket?<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) Museums and Galleries<\/strong> \u2013 Most cities have museums and art galleries that offer special new year events that are specifically geared towards families. Many of these locales offer kid-friendly parties, arts and crafts and live entertainment, often at a discounted rate. Best yet, they often start early in the evening and wrap up just in time to get the kids in bed so that you and your significant other can ring in the new year\u00a0<em>alone<\/em>. Check your local listings and make a date with the family for December 31st.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6) Family Party With Friends<\/strong> \u2013 There\u2019s strength in numbers\/surround yourself with like-minded people\/misery loves company\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.multiplemayhemmamma.com\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_wink.gif\" alt=\";)\" \/> Whatever the platitude, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.sosgarde.ca\/blog\/new-years-eve-and-kids-%E2%80%93-a-parent%E2%80%99s-guide\">enjoy New Year\u2019s Eve<\/a>. There are many, just like you, who are dealing with their kids and wondering how to entertain them on the last night of the year. How about\u00a0a party \u2013\u00a0<em>with<\/em> kids? One of the things that many adults miss when they become parents is the social aspect of getting out. This is often due to the lack of a babysitter, lack of funds or lack of energy. New Years Eve is the perfect time to reconnect with friends \u2013 those with kids \u2013 who you may not have seen for some time. Invite them and the whole family over for a mini-party (if you don\u2019t want it to get too crazy) and get your groove on! Put some movies or music on for the kids, set up some games, have some goodies out, serve some easy buffet-style food (e.g. chili, pizza, etc.) and have fun! Just because you\u2019re a parent it doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t have a good time.<\/p>\n<p>New Year\u2019s Eve should be a celebration, mom and dad. With some simple planning you can have lots of fun ringing in the new year with the kids.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.sosgarde.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Sam-Headshot.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-588\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.sosgarde.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Sam-Headshot-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Samantha Kemp-Jackson is the mother of four, (including three-year-old identical twin boys) and the voice behind the blog, <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.multiplemayhemmamma.com\/\"><em>Multiple Mayhem Mamma<\/em><\/a><em>.
