Things have changed a bit around our house since we had kids. Our New Years Eve celebrations aren’t quite as rowdy… well, they are pretty rowdy with W around but it’s in a different way. And it really takes a push to make it to midnight. But I love celebrating the end of the year with my family, so I’ve gathered 52 New Years Eve Kid-Friendly Activities for those who celebrate with the little ones like we do!
