3rd Annual New Year’s Party and Chris’s Birthday!!
We had our 3rd Annual New Years Party this year. It was a blast! Here are some pictures to recap.
The spread…with the newly painted cabinets in the background! (I finished painting the night before the party) The boxes to the right of the cabinets are my new spice boxes that I got for Christmas! I am going to plant 6 different spices/herbs inside the boxes soon. I have always wanted my own herbs for cooking!

About 10 minutes before midnight we skyped our friends, The Farmer’s that live in Queensland, Australia. It was so fun to be able to bring in the New Year with them. They, along with the Hadley’s, haven’t missed a Mechsner New Year’s party yet! If you click on the picture it will get bigger and you can see Mandi on the screen on the fire place! She got to watch all of us bring in the New Year!
At about 12:05 I brought in Chris’s birthday cake! We always bring the New Year by singing him happy birthday. Chris really enjoys celebrated his birthday with friends and family every year!
The next morning we woke and had a lazy morning at the house. We love waking up and having cuddle time with Caden. He was so fun that morning, once we did all get up!
In the Mechsner house on someone’s birthday we typically let the birthday person pick things that they want to do that day and what they want to eat. Chris chose to go to Chuck-E-Cheeses!! HAHA! Okay so he chose to go there because some very dear friends of ours were celebrating their daughter’s second birthday there, but you can bet the Chris got a picture with Chuck-E too!

Caden loved Chuck-E-Cheeses! He loved the games, the slide(going down head first of course), the pizza, picking out his prizes and the ball game! He liked to take the balls all over the place and not actually thrown the balls into the game! He DID NOT like Chuck-E though, he seems to not like people dressed in costumes at all! oh well…one day!
