Oh, and Kly, good that your kids are staying over night but out here, in recent years, they have free rides to/from bars to home for New Year's Eve. Does your state have that as well? It really IS a good idea.
Yes, TIS. They've been publicizing it heavily this year. Free taxi rides home for anyone, who has too much to drink. They'll even drive your car home for you too. It runs from 6 PM to 6 AM.
