Such excitement in this house!

We absolutely love the new year here in this house. It brings about a fresh start and school restarting. HOWEVER, it also brings about PARTIES. My family hits party mode mid-October and we don't end that mode until the beginning of April. It's CRAZY.

In October, we got to enjoy my birthday with those who were closest to me (and celebrate birthdays). We then celebrated Halloween with Trunk or Treat at church and trick or treating around the neighborhood.

In November, we held a Creeper party for Bullfrog who turned 10 and then had a great Thanksgiving.

This was the second year that we didn't do much for Turtle's birthday, but she didn't care. We did hold a celebratory dinner for my friend.  We would have done Christmas as well ... but we all got the stomach bug. We were sick from Christmas day to the Sunday after (which caused us to miss my husband's work party as well).

Now that it is January ... we have a whole new set of parties to throw! So, what's on the agenda?

January 17 - Family Christmas Party

January 24 - HousePary Reynolds Make Meal Magic

February 21 - Peanut's 12th Birthday (Chinese New Year theme)

February 28 - DisneySide Party

I am unbelievably excited. I have been working on re-arranging my apartment for about 2 weeks now. It isn't easy when your husband works 80 hours a week and you are parenting 4 children ... all home for winter break. Over the next few weeks, I plan to give sneak peeks on what our plans are and things that are coming together.

While all this partying is going on ... you may wonder about my huge 2015 goal of becoming fit. Well ... I am still watching what I am eating and controlling the portions. I have also started another blog where I will dive deeper into my Path to Health, and hope you follow along there as well!

Let me know in  the comments below what your agenda looks like for January and February ... OR if you have any suggestions to add to the parties I have listed!!
