CNY eve reunion meal with baby

Do you skip/Are you skipping CNY eve reunion dinner with parents/in-laws/extended family because your little one goes to bed early? For the past years we have to go my in-laws' place for reunion dinner from 7+pm till 10+pm. Dunno how we are going to do that when my 7mo baby sleeps by 8pm, and it'll be disruptive to shift her from in-laws house to car and then back home while she is sleeping. Also, my in-laws place doesn't have spare room or any space at all where she can sleep quietly. Can't change to lunch because SIL does CNY eve lunch with her in-laws.
