A Year of Parties {2012}

I hope you’re not sick of round-up posts yet {smile}.  Today I’m taking a look back at the parties I hosted this year.

In the first few months of the year, I hosted a soup swap, a camo party for Luke and Lila’s birthday, a favorite things party for Kennedy’s birthday, a green eggs and ham breakfast, a potty party to celebrate a potty-trained Tate, a cocoa party, a little March Madness, and a TCBY Bunko party.

Spring and summer brought a summer fun party with the neighbors, a rainbow party planned for a friend, a red and turquoise pool party, some backyard fun with the family, a hungry caterpillar playdate, a Keurig House Party, and a wheels playdate.

We wrapped up summer and headed into fall with an Olympics viewing party, a little more backyard family fun, a back to school coffee, a Phineas and Ferb celebration, and Tate’s doll birthday party.

And in the final months of the year I hosted a pumpkin party, a spa party, and a Christmas open house.

I love hosting parties and themed playdates!  I’m already getting excited about some plans for the new year!

    Wow! You had some great parties! Great ideas! I love your blog. It must be fun to look back on previous years and see what you’ve done. I would love a blog for that reason – except I would actually have to do stuff.
