The Greatest Shower on Earth!

My sister, Laura and some close friends hosted a Circus shower for Henry last week. It was called, "The Henry Brother Circus" and what a party it was! This was a very creative theme for a baby shower. They went all out with food, decorations, signs and details. It was a fun party atmosphere complete with circus music. I especially loved the "Henry" stuff like the candy bars and rootbeer. Here are a few of my pictures, my sister has lots more.

And here I am at almost 34 weeks.

Thanks for the wonderful shower everybody. I felt truly honored and celebrated and am even more excited now for Henry's arrival.

Jack's Penguin Party

It was a long time coming and even had to be cancelled once, but Jack's Penguin Party finally happened and was super fun! It even snowed that day just to keep things interesting. We had penguin bowling, pin the penguin on the igloo and a bean bag toss game. The kids were running around playing and the adults were eating the shortbread snowflake cookies as fast as they could. (note to self: make more cookies for future parties!)Thanks to everyone who came and helped with the party! And thanks for celebrating Jack and his big #1.

I was really excited about this banner I made. All it took was felt and craft glue and a few naptimes to finish it! The Igloo cake. Thank you Martha Stewart cake mold.

Here is Jack with my Boompa. Jack just celebrated his first birthday and Boompa is about to celebrate his 81st!!!

I think he liked the cupcake but seemed a little overwhelmed by all the people looking at him.

This is Jack's new truck. It is his favorite new toy-he sits on it and pushes all the buttons all the time. A timeline of a year in pictures.
Marilee and I made this bean bag toss game. We still have it up in our house and Jack loves to put balls in and out of the holes. He and his cousin, Silas, also like to climb behind it and pass the balls back and forth to each other and peek through the holes. It's been very useful entertainment for more than just the party!
