New Year's Eve can be a challenge with kids. Find a babysitter (good luck with that!) and enjoy a Date Night, or keep the kids out late and cross your fingers they're not grouchy the next day? Fortunately, there are several local fun family events happening during the day on New Year's Eve so maybe you can do both!
