A Tiny Gentleman

In case you haven't heard, let me announce that I'm getting another nephew for Christmas. I really can't think of a better present. So, naturally, I had to throw a party to celebrate!
I made gentleman-ly bow ties for all of our cups and mustaches to go on absolutely everything.




There were all sorts of delicious treats on the table - some made by me and some made by Mindy's mom & sister (who helped a great deal with all of the details of the party), I made rock candy to stir into the iced tea, and there were even pralines to take home as an extra treat for all the guests.






We made up a few silly games too. I don't generally like baby shower games, so I always try to think of something a little bit different to do. An air-pipe relay race? Nope. Don't think I've seen that one done before.




It was such a fun afternoon, celebrating the impending arrival of the newest tiny gentleman to join our family.

I honestly thought that I left a comment on here but I still don't see it. I have all sorts of trouble leaving comments on blogger because of google passwords and stuff I can't seem to understand. So now if I don't leave my comment as just a name and URL instead of a ... you don't care about all this.

I LOVE the gentleman's baby shower! I mean...HOW CLEVER IS THAT!?! You are something! Was this idea you're own or inspired by something similar. I love your brain.

Okay...so now I see that my comment is there! What? I am beginning to hate blogger. Don't tell them, I'm sure I'll come around.

LOL! What happened in this instance was that I just published the comments, presumably, as you were writing and publishing this morning :) I am just so far behind on *everything!*
So. I'm glad you love my brain, even if it doesn't remind me to do things in a timely fashion :)

I wish I could "like" that.
