New Year’s Eve is the perfect time to celebrate the blessings of the past year and look forward with excitement and anticipation to the coming days. Do you need some inspiration for fun activities for your family this New Year’s Eve? Try some of these ideas!
Make a Family Time Capsule
Allow your children to decorate a box or container to use as your capsule to be added to each year. Pack your time capsule with mementos, pictures, and memories from the past year, and store it in a safe, safety deposit box at your bank, or secret place in your home. For additional information on Time Capsules check out www.theidearoom.net/new-years-eve-time-capsule-printables.

Pray Together for the Year to Come
Ask that the Lord would help each of your children to love Him and others more this year than ever before. Talk to them about seeking the Lord’s will and plans for the coming year. Following Jesus daily is an exciting way of life!
Choose a Word to Represent the Upcoming Year
(This coming year could be the year of joy, faith, kindness, quietness, or thankfulness). Discuss the way your chosen word could play out in your children’s daily life. Search your Bible or online concordance to find verses that apply. Make artwork, using markers, watercolor paints, or whatever you have on hand, depicting the theme for the year and how that word will be represented in your child’s life.
Have a Party!
Use what you have on hand to make a fun, simple party! Be creative with party favors and props. Paper hats are fun and easy to make, and kids love to assemble and hang their own decorations. Have simple snacks and play board games or watch a favorite family movie. Your evening doesn’t have to be complicated to create lasting memories, and family celebrations are truly building blocks for beautiful memories!
When you see someone has had a hand in writing a book for moms, you immediately assume they must have it all together. I do not. Maybe you don’t either. But I have some good news for you…we have a perfectly gracious Savior who loves us so very much, imperfections and all!
Together, we can learn who He is and who we are in Him, and together, we can take this one little life He has given us and pour out His love in a way that changes hearts, especially our own!
