A Year of Parties

While I’m reviewing the year, I thought I’d show you the parties I hosted in 2011.

Kennedy had a Spa Party, the twins celebrated their birthday with a Backyard Campout, Tate splashed around at her Drips and Drops party, and I pulled off my first surprise party.

I joined the national Soup Swap {which I definitely want to do again this year}, we had our playgroup friends over for a Valentine bash, I hosted an Expo Marker House Party, and a Shabby Vintage baby shower.



I also hosted a Pinterest party, Tate had an Itsy Bitsy Spider party and a Christmas party, and we celebrated the start of kindergarten with a Back to School party.



We’re already in the throes of planning the first party of 2012.  What parties did you host this year?  Feel free to leave a link in the comments.

    Wow! Such great ideas for parties! I’m trying to come up with some ideas for my son’s birthdays so you’ve given me some inspiration. I’m visiting from Tatertots & Jello’s link party.
