It was a lot of fun helping my sister, Katie <a href="http://pinterest.com/whatbounty/first-birthday-party/">pin</a> and plan all the little details, so naturally I just had to make the trip from Pennsylvania to execute them.<br />
<br />
Claire has been a crazy little monkey since she could barely crawl, so it only seemed appropriate to plan her 1st birthday party around the cute little primate (a monkey, not Claire). We hung some of Claire's monkey friends from a dowel rod along-side some DIY tissue-paper balls, strung streamers across the stage to create a jungle (which the kids had a blast running through and then eventually tearing down), and incorporated some pink zebra print in the balloons and table decor.<br />
<br />
The monkey-theme party also featured veggies & dip displayed in plastic cups (an easy and germ-free alternative), chocolate-dipped banana pops, banana-nut cheerios for the little ones, delicious monkey bread made by Claire's meme, and festive chocolate and vanilla cup-cakes. It was a bit hit with both the kids and the parents - and although Claire might be too little to remember the day, she'll have plenty of pictures to look back on.<br />

There's just something so utterly romantic and beautiful about saying "I do" on a chilly, snowy day.<br />

I've found myself pinning a lot of winter wedding pins on the KM Music Productions Pinterest board lately, and thought I'd share a few of my favorites. <a href="http://pinterest.com/kylemohrmusicdj/winter-weddings/">Click here</a> to see the full board.<br />

Even though trick-or-treating has been postponed in our township this year due to hurricane Sandy, we're just grateful that our house was unharmed and our electricity is back on. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who are still without power and have suffered damage and loss over the past few days. And to everyone else celebrating this evening, we hope we have a fun and safe Halloween!</div>

When creating our website and revamping the "That's the Plan," we knew we needed some high quality, professional pictures and contacted Brae immediately to set something up!<br />
<br />
We first met Brae at a <a href="http://thatistheplan.blogspot.com/2011/09/r-wedding-via-brae-howard-photography.html">friend's wedding</a> in August of last year, which she photographed, Kyle DJ'ed and I decorated. We were blown away by not only her talent, but her fun-loving and friendly personality. We highly recommend <a href="http://www.braehoward.com/">Brae Howard Photography</a> for your wedding in the Philadelphia area!<br />

The temperatures have started to drop, the leaves are beginning to change, and pumpkins and mums can be spotted on almost every front porch and farm stand. There is just something so romantic about the cooler weather and colorful trees - a truly perfect backdrop for a wedding. Serve your guests cider, cut pie instead of cake, or incorporate soft creams and deep wine colors for a beautiful fall wedding day.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Some popular radio hits are great to listen to when you're in the car, but they don't exactly get the crowd moving at a wedding or birthday party. At <a href="http://www.kylemohrmusicproductions.com/">KM Music Productions</a>, we love to use remixes of a few of today's top tunes at our events to get people out on the dance floor and our clients and their guests love it! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The band Fun's "We Are Young" Remix by Alvin Risk is at the top of our playlist. We'll be posting a list of all of our favorite remixes soon, but in the meantime, check out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DheuYnSU85Y">this video</a> and let us know what you think! (You may have to go over to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DheuYnSU85Y">youtube.com</a> to watch the video).<br />

Kyle DJ'ed the beautiful affair in the open-air pavilion at historic Plimouth Plantation, with a view of a marsh and the ocean just on the horizon.<br />
<br />
The Bride and Groom danced together to Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat's "Lucky" and all of their guests later joined them on the dance floor for a night of fun. Congrats to Leah and Andrew - we're so glad we were able to be part of your special day!<br />

Kyle set-up on the back deck under a canopy (to shield him and his equipment from the passing showers), overlooking a yard full of the birthday girl's 40+ closest family and friends. All of the guests had a great night and danced on the deck until dark. Happy 16th Birthday Danielle!<br />

I decorated with loads of Christmas lights and candles and created a coffee station, complete with a chalkboard menu, where kids could order fun beverages: french vanilla, almond joy and caramel iced coffees, fancy chocolate milks, Shirley temples, and root beer floats. Kyle set-up his equipment by the stage to play music as the kids filtered in, as well as in-between acts and during intermission.<br />
<br />
A handful of teens performed throughout the night - there were solos and duets, ukulele and guitar players, dancers and even comedians. I was so impressed by the talent and glad to see so much involvement. Everyone had a great time and many requests where made for another coffee house this winter.<br />

We were in need of some portraits of Kyle and I, as well as some detail shots of Kyle's equipment, for the <a href="http://www.kylemohrmusicproductions.com/">website</a> and this little blog here, and knew exactly who to contact.<br />
<br />
We met Brae almost a year ago when she photographed our friend's <a href="http://www.thatistheplan.blogspot.com/2011/09/r-wedding-via-brae-howard-photography.html">Rachel & Dan's wedding</a>, which Kyle also DJ'ed. Brae was great to work with and we had a lot of fun posing on the streets of Philly last night. If you are looking for an amazing photographer in the Philadelphia area, contact Brae! We can't say enough about how awesome she is, and as you'll see very soon, her work will speak for itself. Photos of the shoot to come, but for now, here's a little sneak peak.<br />

While it originally began as a event planning blog, it quickly became more about keeping those at a distance up-to-date on our lives. It's been a fun way to document recent happenings, however, <i>That's the Plan </i>will be going back to it's event planning roots and you might start to notice some big changes happening around here in coming weeks.<br />
<br />
Kyle and I have recently begun focusing more of our efforts on expanding Kyle's DJ company, <span style="background-color: white;"><i>KM Music Production</i>s. What originally began as a fun way to make some extra money using equipment we already had, <i>KM Music Productions</i> has grown into a professional DJ company and something we are both very passionate and excited about. <i>That's the Plan</i>, therefore,</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">will become the supplemental blog for </span><a href="http://www.kylemohrmusicproductions.com/"><i>KM Music Production</i>s</a>, <span style="background-color: white;">featuring wedding tips, music favorites, and more.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> Our aim is for this blog to be an extra service for our brides - a place they can visit for inspiration and ideas for their Big Day. We'll offer our expertise on top wedding songs, showcase pictures of events we've DJ'ed and much, much more! Check back soon for a new design, new content and a new take on </span><i>That's the Plan. </i><br />

We had a wonderful time catching up with family, eating way to much food, and smothering Claire with kisses. A weekend trip is always way too short, but we enjoyed every second of our time in Massachusetts.<br />

I have to say, it was a pretty wonderful first July 4th as a resident of Oreland, and a resident of Oreland did I truly feel as I sat with several of my youth group girls and church friends and watched the firetrucks and floats march down the streets of our town. I felt like such a townie and loved every second of it.<br />
<br />
A few of us escaped the high temps by crashing the home of a family from church to use their pool. We had a blast swimming and barbecuing in the backyard for the afternoon. I drove home later in the day, full, tried and sunburned, to my sick husband in bed. Poor Kyle missed out on the days festivities, but I was able to drag him out of bed to watch the fireworks light up the sky all throughout our neighboorhood.<br />

My sister Jenna and her college friend Elena were attending a wedding in New Jersey and lucky for us, they came to stay in PA for a few a days.<br />
<br />
On Saturday, I surprised the girls with a trip to <a href="http://www.shopterrain.com/">Terrain</a> in Glen Mills, PA. After seeing some of my friend <a href="http://www.simplethrifter.blogspot.com/">Gwen's</a> pictures, I knew it would be the perfect place to take Jenna and Elena. We all had a wonderful time checking out the shop's many unique garden supplies, home goods and gifts and not one of us walked away empty-handed. We sipped on spritzers and nibbled on scones before heading back to Oreland for a cookout on our deck.<br />
<br />
Thanks for visiting Jenna and Elena! <br />

When we first opened the doors to our house, we were greeted by dark green carpets, dingy white walls in some rooms and wallpaper-covered walls in others, and a gorgeous (um, not) kitchen featuring chipped off-white counters and a faux brick back splash. Needless to say, Kyle and I knew we had a lot of work ahead of us when we purchased this home - but we are determined to bring it into this century and make it our own.<br />
<br />
Although we still have a lot more to check off on our list, we have made some progress over the past almost-two months. I am happy to say the green carpets are gone and our hardwood floors have been refinished. Our living room and kitchen walls boast fresh coats of paint and our three upstairs bedrooms are starting to come together. While we still have curtains and pictures to hang and final touches to add, our living room has made the biggest change so far. The quality of the "Before" picture is pretty terrible since we got it from the Realtors website, and the "After" picture is not the complete finished product, but you get the idea!<br />

But, since we moved into our new house just days after our return, I think that's a pretty good excuse. We have been extremely busy these past few weeks moving/painting/cleaning/organizing, but last night I finally found the time to go through the photos from our week<span style="background-color: white;"> in Corolla, NC.</span><br />

She's a smart little cookie and has worked really hard over the past 4 years, so I could not be more proud!<br />
<br />
We spent the rest of the weekend celebrating with family (i.e. eating way, way too much food), first at a Mexican restaurant in Harrisburg with margaritas a-plenty and then at a cookout at my Aunt's.<br />

Needless to say, a lot has happened since February 6, the most significant being that Kyle and I bought a house! After a long and stressful process, we officially became homeowners on Tuesday, May 1 when we signed a million papers (actually, it wasn't really <i>that</i> bad) and got the keys to our quaint, brick-faced colonial in Oreland, PA. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kyle and I are already hard at work to transform the slightly outdated interior to something more modern and fitting to our style. The lovely (not) deep green carpets were torn out within hours of settlement, which thankfully exposed some beautiful hardwoods that will be refinished this weekend. We have a <i>very</i> long list of projects, renovations and updates to accomplish, but we're looking forward to making this house our home.</div>

I shared a few pictures of their December wedding <a href="http://www.thatistheplan.blogspot.com/2011/12/dc-wedding.html">here</a>, but the video below by <a href="http://www.kd-productions.com/">KD Productions</a> truly captures the beauty of Christie's and Ben's Big Day. (...oh and p.s. that me giving a toast in the first few mins of the video!)<br />

You can thank work, youth group, my new obsession with Downton Abbey (ah-maz-ing) and life in general for that (although those are all great things, so I'm not complain'). Also, my new niece Claire takes up some weekend time - but she is seriously the cutest baby in existence, so I'm completely okay with that. I promise to be back to weekly posting again soon - but in the meantime, take a look at this face!!!</div><br />

While this past year was surely a great one, I am pumped for 2012 and all that God has in store for us. Best wishes to you all for a happy and wonderful New Year!<br />

I feel truly blessed to have been able to spend the Holiday Season with both sides of the family (a true rarity due to the distance between them) and was absolutely spoiled with multiple days of celebrating, eating (a lot!) and gift-opening.
