No Rest for the Weary

With Christmas over, that nagging feeling hits me every year.  The feeling that I have forgotten something- that something always being Ryan’s birthday.  He was born the first week of January, and with the holidays, I always fall behind on his party.

Back in June, I thought of this, and planned.  In years past, I have never seemed to plan his birthday far ahead enough in advance, and then all the fun places are booked.    My ‘baby’ is turning five this year, and he has been excited forever for his birthday.  I actually booked the venue in June, and that was too early to do all the other planning, so I have put it off-again.  There is always so much going on with the holidays, it just naturally falls to the back burner. 

So this week we will be trying to move, work, and finish the preparations for Ryan’s big day, which is next Sunday.  Fortunately, I have all the party favors, and just have to find some time to assemble them.  I would love to make his cake, and some of the other food, but I’m not crazy. There is just no way I can manage that with everything else going on.

If my blog posts taper off, you know I am up to my neck in boxes, and party favors.  🙂  I hope everyone had a great Christmas, and here are some pictures from ours:
