Scottie's Surprise Bday Party

Well this post is a little late! I wanted to get a record of it anyway. I threw Scottie a surprise birthday party in April 2010. I invited all of his favorite people from near and far. Most of his friends came from Indiana, and one friend came all the way from New Orleans. Pretty impressive! We had appetizers and drinks at Bar Louie (my best friend Kelsea helped me coordinate!) and Scottie's brother Greg and his wife Heather helped me with the coordinating of people. Heather also made a really cute photo board that captured Scottie's best moments. :)

 Here's a very small part of the group!



Here's the birthday glass I made for Scottie:


DIY Wreath

I made my own wreath yesterday. I wanted to buy one and couldn't believe how expensive they were! I like that this one is inexpensive, custom, and took almost no time to make. I'm thinking about doing these for family gifts this year.

Family Christmas

Every year my husband's step-mom's family gets together for Family Christmas. We eat tons of food, play games, and the children have a gift exchange. This year I have offered to host, since we have moved to Indiana where most of the family is located. I'm very excited! I started it off right by creating this invitation. I made a few different styles using different colored paper. I just love doing this stuff!
