Surprise!!!!!!



Danny and I have been keeping a secret for a few weeks, but we are pleased to announce that baby number 4 will be joining our family in late February or more likely for us- March! We are very excited and hope you will be happy for us too! And yes, we are still very crazy and very happy!

Harry Potter Party

Christian and Danny have read the first couple Harry Potter books together and Christian likes them, so he wanted a Harry Potter party. Although, I don't know too much about the books and only saw the first movie, I figured we could do that! Danny helped a lot! So did other people's ideas on the internet.

First, the kids decorated their own wands.
 Cole
 Nicholas
 and enjoyed casting spells and eating them.
Then, they had Quiditch practice- races, relays, etc.
 Mattison

 love Christian's happy face.
 
Danny was a good coach

Mason

 Then, we had a potions class. They tried dragon scales and unicorn blood first. The unicorn blood made the scales come halfway back to life and they tickled their tongues.(water and pop rocks)


Thomas

 Next, they mixed bone powder and witches spit and it erupted!
Luke

 
Grant coulldn't believe it!
Next they tried, Bertie Bots (only they were jelly bellies) and tried to identify the flavors. Such dramatic children!

 Then we went back out for some magic soda and cake and ice cream!


 love his face! The soda was pretty cool!
 Christian requested either a giant spider or a 3- headed dog cake. Um... I opted for the spider.
 He liked it though, which made me glad.
 Christian had a great time with his friends and gave them each a Quiditch stick goodie bag to take home.
