Last year to bring in 2014, we hosted a huge family pajama/waffle party and it was a great time. Also, it was my husband and I 10 year Anniversary of when he told me he wanted to date me ( you can read about that here), so we really went all out.
This year I just wanted to spend it with just my husband and kids. I really felt selfish because everyone in my family seemed disappointed that we were not hosting New Year's Eve. As much as I enjoy spending time with everyone, this year my heart was not into it. Two of the lessons I learned in 2014 is to listen to myself and follow my own intuition and it's okay to say, "No".
That being said, my Husband and the kids and I had a great time bringing in the New Year together. My husband made a seafood boil with lobster, shrimp and corn. I made some T'bone steaks and huge backed potatoes. We watched BET video countdown, because I realized I haven't seen any music videos this year! After we danced to Taylor Swift performance on, "Dick Clark's New Year Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest", we shook off 2014 by looking at pictures from the vacations we took that year.
I hope you brought into the New Year the way you wanted!
