Party, Party, Party

We are VERY into parties. Especially me (Ellen). And especially when we get to host these parties. So any holiday or random reason I can think of to throw a party, I do...

We threw a neighborhood block party and invited everyone who lived in our "part" of the neighborhood. We are so lucky to be surrounded by wonderful neighbors who are about our same age (late 20s-early 30s) and in the same stage of life. About 35 people showed up, so it was definitely a huge success!

Brian thought it was super cheesy that I made everyone wear nametags.

We hosted New Years Eve at our house... this is our group of besties... Adam and Greyson (left couple) are great friends of ours and live about 8 minutes away. Greyson and Ellen have been friends since 7th grade. Stacy and Travis (middle couple) are also great friends of ours but live about 45 minutes away. Stacy and Ellen have been friends since age 2.

Once we were completely settled in our new home, we threw ourselves a Housewarming Party. It was fabulous. Friends and family attended and we were able to "show off" our house and give tours and tell what we had redone or changed.

Ellen's parents (and sister, not pictured) came to the party too

YUM
