4 Family Friendly Ways to Ring in 2017 at Home

2. Make Your Own Party Poppers: This year we will be making some super fun party poppers to use during our countdown that are easy, inexpensive and fun! The first step is my favorite part...buy push pops and eat the ice cream. Yum! Clean out the containers and glue fun paper or wrapping paper to the outside. Fill with glitter and confetti then cover with lightly glued on tissue paper. Push the pops to celebrate the ball drop and out comes the party!

3.  Freeze Dance Party: Want to make sure that your kiddos are completely worn out and ready for a good nights sleep? Freeze Dance Party is so much fun! Grab some glow sticks from the Dollar Tree before hand and then tune into your favorite kid friendly playlist.   Kidz Bop 33  and the  Trolls soundtrack  is currently our favorite but any music will do. Turn off your lights, hand out the glow sticks and turn up the jams! Sporadically throughout the song, turn the music all the way down and everyone freezes in their positions a la The Mannequin challenge and listen as the giggles ensue. 

4. Family Verse: Everyone loves to create resolutions this time of year that they will no doubt have completely forgotten about by March if that long. That's why a family verse that your family can come to together and focus and pray on throughout the year is a great alternative. Come together and choose a verse on New Year's Eve, print it out, frame it and keep it in a spot you can all see throughout the year. Such a great way to ensure that your family will be united with the same focus throughout the coming year.
