Steps to a fun NYE with kids: (1) tell your kid you’re letting him/her “stay up” for the celebration; (2) right before their regular bedtime, show them a YouTube video of the ball dropping; (3) emphasize how special it is that they get to stay up late tonight; (4) put them to bed; (5) grab your ice cream/chocolate/champagne and watch other people enjoy NYE on the east coast; (6) enjoy these pics of Soccer Shots with Coach Ken; (7) sign your kid up for the next season of soccer; (8) go to bed at 9:01pm PT.
