In addition to blogging, I resolved to read at least 4 books this year, to work out more and eat better, to run the Gate River Run and travel more and watch less TV. I think it's important to have goals to work towards in order to improve your health, wellness, and just improve your life overall. You'd be surprised how small changes make a big impact.
To kick off the new year, the kids and I had our own little NYE par-tay at the Bauer Haus! Complete with hats, horns, and sparkling water with stripey straws. Party over here!
Andy felt like such a grown up wearing a tie and drinking out of a real glass instead of a plastic cup. I tried not to let me anxiety show every time they wanted to "cheers"!
Miss Amaya jumps at any chance to wear a dress AND a tiara with a cute slogan!
The countdown was my favorite. We watched the ball drop on DVR since they couldn't stay up late enough to watch it live. You wouldn't believe how excited they were. Jackson loves New York City and to see the ball and the crowds and confetti was a real treat.
Believe it or not, Jackson likes to get dressed up. He isn't always thrilled when I'm snapping pictures, but once he sees them, he says "Mommy, I'm so handsome!".
Sometimes, I get so bogged down with the daily routine of cooking, cleaning, laundry and helping with homework. It felt good to just let loose and have some fun with the kids and to relax for a while. They had fun, and admittedly, I did too. This is a fun thing to do for any holiday. The best time to buy holiday party supplies is right after the holiday passes. I don't think I paid more than $3.00 for all of our supplies.
Quite frankly, it doesn't have to be a holiday or a special occasion to celebrate. Throw on some fancy clothes and have your own house party just for the fun of it!
Rock on, guys!
always,
astreia
