This weekend we had a Baby BBQ in honor of Gryffyn. This was an opportunity for a bunch of our friends to get together and celebrate the new addition to our family in an extremely relaxed atmosphere. Since Gryffyn will not be able to remember this event, I made a frame for her with a picture of a tree in the middle. During the BBQ, each attendee left their thumb print on the tree using an ink pad.

Random photos from the party...

what happens when boys play with kid's bouncing ball...throw it over the neighbor's fence and send the 12 year old to go fetch it. (totally Alan's fault)

Odd thing about this, 73 photos were taken during the course of the party, and I am in two of them. You know I'm a mom when the first picture is taken after Hannah had pooped on me and I had changed from my pretty party dress and while Gryffyn is pooping on me.
