The holidays are over and that means we can let out a big sigh of relief, sit-back, relax and reminisce about the craziness and happiness of the holiday season. Well, mostly… there’s still New Years. Luckily, some brave folks out there (thanks Lexi & Mark), still want to host for New Years. Since having kids we never really make any New Years plan as our kids are pretty much out of commission and turn into little zombies once the clock strikes 8!<\/p>\n

New Year’s Eve 2016<\/p><\/div>\n

However, that all changed last year when our friends hosted us and had an “early” New Years celebration party for the kids. The kids played, watched the hockey game and ate.<\/p>\n

\"new-years-2015\"<\/p>\n

At the stroke of midnight (aka: 7:30), we had a New Years countdown (Netflix has a few options for Kid-friendly New Years countdowns) followed by a spectacular dance party. The kids had a blast, the adults got to mingle, and since they live in the neighborhood, we walked home and enjoyed some fresh air. It was a perfect way to end the year and I’m looking forward to going again this year.<\/p>\n

\"DANCE

DANCE PARTY<\/p><\/div>\n

So when we received the invite again this year, I immediately asked what I could bring (implying – YES… We’re coming!). The hostess said cheese and crackers, which is an easy request to fulfill, but I’m happy to be taking it to the next level and bringing them the Toast to the Host kit from Loblaws<\/b><\/a>   The New Year\u2019s Eve Entertaining Essentials Kit is a charcuterie board in-a-box <\/strong>designed just for New Year\u2019s Eve and offered at select GTA store locations from December 27-31<\/span>.<\/p>\n
