Case In Point For Easy Entertaining
Every year we host a HUGE New Year’s Eve bash. Basically, all of our friends AND their kids are invited — because, as you know if you have kids, going out on New Year’s is kind of iffy…
In recent years it’s kind of morphed into a giant pajama party! Adults and kids alike show up in their fave jammies, we all hang out for the night, and then after midnight, everyone heads out all ready to go straight to bed once they get home. Pretty ingenious if you ask me!
AND it’s the perfect excuse to sip palomas in my flannel PJs. TOTALLY one of the best ways to start the New Year off right!!
