Looking for some fun baking recipes for you and your troops this New Years Eve? Check out Safeway’s Pinterest boards for some sweet inspiration. I found a fun Sugar Cookie Pop recipe and Nate and I went to work making the dough.
The rest of the kids helped with the decorating.
Safeway has a great resource for your parties with a list of dessert and cocktail pairings as well as the Safeway Beverage Calculator, designed to help you determine the right amount of bevies to purchase for your New Year’s party.

Ringing in the New Year with sparkling cider.
Following on pinterest!
My favorite New Year’s activity is feeling indulgent, whatever that looks like for that particular season! Now, with young kids and no babysitter, it usually means getting take-out instead of cooking, making sure to have a good bottle of champagne or cider on hand, picking a few movies to watch after the kids go to bed, and making sure we stop whatever we’re doing to watch the ball drop and reflect on the year. I’m thinking since my diet starts Wednesday, pizza would be fabulous for tonight. 😉

Our family loves to do a game night until the countdown.

We will be toasting with Champagne (adults) and Martinelli’s (kids) at the east Coast time. This is the first year my oldest is old enough to understand — I can’t wait to celebrate New Year’s with him for the first time!
Favorite new years activity is just to stay in watching TV…..sometimes we don’t even make it til midnight
We like to celebrate with lots of yummy appetizer and ringing in the New Year with good friends and family !!
We love to friends and family over for fun snacks and a game night. Best way to ring in the new year!
Bonfire and making s’mores on NYE!
We love to spend time with family and I love to make the apps that they love to eat!!
Happy New Year!
My favorite nye activity is worrying down my resolutions with my friends and then sharing.
NYE is my husbands favorite. We go out dancing and party like we were in our 20’s again.
We write predictions for the new year and review the predictions we made last year 🙂
We usually do something quiet for New Year’s, but it’s different every year. Sometimes it’s a board game night with friends, champagne at home, or watching movies.
Making hot artichoke and spinach dip. And oh my gosh– they make it main dish form! (Not a recipe I uploaded– but a pin that I pinned onto mine!) http://pinterest.com/pin/132785888985153640/ This is for the dip with noodles in a casserole!)

I always loved staying up till midnight – running outside and banging pots and pans!
Snacks, board games and an “East Coast” celebration. We’re done at 9, and the kids don’t know the difference!

I’m going dancing. Gulp!
Making Pretzel sticks with the kids. It’s super easy and they love it. We go after Christmas and get the melts and christmas topping decorations on clearance… Melt the chocolates (melts or even chocolate chips) then dip the pretzel stick in and let the kids imaginations run wild! They love it when I make a special one with their names on it. If you get white melts you can use food coloring to make different colors of chocolate.
Getting takeout and movie time!!

My favorite NYE activity is wine, journaling and cuddling.
Every year we go to the store pick out all the diff kinds of snack foods (or recipes to make) and all day cook, chill out in our jammies and just enjoy family time. No phones, etc. We just have fun with our family!
