"Welcome William" Party in Minnesota

My sister Julie organized a Welcome William Party for us while we were home vacationing during Carlton Winterfest. This party basically took place of my baby shower that was canceled last summer due to the doctors not allowing me to fly during my pregnancy. Amber (my sister-in-law) and Mom were all great big factors in making this party a smashing success. I want to thank everybody who contributed to the wonderful party ... making food, donating money, helping set up and take down. We had sixty people show up all to meet Will (who by the way slept 3/4 of the entire two hour party!). Here are a few pix to share from our fun.

Here is our FOUR generation picture.
