- Farewell, 2021! -

Anyone who's been around here for a hot minute knows I'm a creature of habit and WE LUV US SOME TRUH-DISHHH-EN, so flatter me by taking 0.8 seconds to adore my collage of favorite memories from 2021 [one pic per month!] before we kiss this year goodbye:


Ohhhh, 2021!  The rest of the world calls it one of the worst, but under our roof it was one of the best! Cheers to lovin' hard and livin' LARGE!  We celebrated the last day of the year at a "Noon Year's Eve" party at the local children's museum [complete with balloon drop at noon sharp, of course!]...

...and then scampered home to tidy up the house and fire up the oven for our own little New Year's Eve party!

The kids had a blast with the party hats, honkers/blowers and sparkling grape juice in fancy cups!


The girls and their cousins all seemed to be winding down around 9:45pm, but luckily the YouTube countdown/ball drop can be fired up at ANY time! ;) :)  CHEERS TO THE NEW YEAR [after all, it's 12:00am somewhere right?!]!

After everyone left, we put Juliette to bed and the four of us ended up staying up to play one more game that turned into three more games; before we knew it, we were tucking the big girls into bed at 11:37pm and my #MOMGUILT got the best of me... They made it to 11:37...what's another 23 minutes?!  I can't remember the last time I actually rung in the New Year FOR REAL, but these little night owls made it happen this year as we counted down with a live, televised street party in Texas! :) 

THEN!  Much to my dismay, no one slept in on New Year's Day............... But! We had a great first day of the year reveling in family time, playing many rounds of Boggle, and -- of course -- blowing the party horns over and over and over [and over] again! 

My 2022 word of the year is "live" which I plan to drone on and on about in another post [hopefully published by 2023!]. 

Happy New Year, friends!!!
