Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year! I hope your New Year's eve was exciting and you spent it with the ones you loved. New Year's Eve in The Meshach House was a blast. The kids and I decided to have a little party, and my son, Nicky was the party planner. He decided that the theme for the night was "A Dark Party". I'm not to sure where he came up with this idea, but trust me he had a vision. We had purchase some glow sticks at the local dollar store, along with a few noise markers and party hats. One we arrived home, I was informed by the host that we needed to eat dinner at once. The year before I had made a party platter of finger foods. The kids were less than impressed, and asked for peanut butter and jelly. So this year I decided not to make a special platter and stick to just a dinner. I found this recipe for Spaghetti carbonara and thought it looked good. Well, out of five people in the household three like it. Avery devoured it, but then again Avery eats everything. I thought it was deliciou, and even Jay like it. My hubby can be a picky eater sometimes. As for Lacey and Nicky, well Lacey's exact words were "This smells", and Nicky ate about three bites and declared he was full. After a quick change into our party gear ( also know as pj's) we were to the playroom. Nicky had made sure all the lights were out, and just the t.v was on. I should mention now that my children love to dance. They will dance to any and all types of music. So the music channel was set to party favorite and the dancing began. They had a blast. To see the pure joy on faces, and to hear their laughter was amazing. I really just sat back and enjoyed the moment. The best part was Jay came home during the party. The kids were so excited and thrill to see him. They were showing off their dance moves, and encouraging Daddy to use the noisemakers. The big party lasted to 8 p.m. The kids were exhausted and gave us no problems at bedtime. As for me, I also went to bed right after them. The next morning, my husband inform me that he did try to wake me up for our New Year's kiss, twice. Apparently I was very tired and did not move, but told him "To go eat spaghetti". Poor guy, but for the record he did like the dish. So this was how The Meshach Family welcomed in 2012. I would love to hear how you the readers spent New Year's. Please feel free to leave a comment. I sill be sure to answer you back.
