Party On, Easton!

As promised here's a glimpse into the super fun party we hosted yesterday...but first a few observations:
  1. Jace and I have some amazing friends but apparently they can't read (but thank you all so very much for the gifts) :)
  2. Any romantic ideas I had about opening a bakery one day have died a miserable death after making cupcakes from scratch, baking a cake and making enough frosting for both!
  3. Vegetable shortening is disgusting and should NEVER EVER EVER be used to make frosting. Eww. Or maybe I messed something up but I'm going with "eww"...
  4. Don't ever let Jace and I plan a party for you...or if you do completely underestimate the number of people attending and then you'll have the perfect amount of food.
  5. My husband is incredible! He was luke warm about this party until I told him how much I was looking forward to it and from there he was all in. From picking up the rental chairs to cleaning the kitchen after my cupcake wars trial run he was there for me, with a smile, the entire day. Thank you so much honey!!
Thanks for that quick indulgence :)

Alright so we got a lot of great photos and I put them together in the slideshow below. I tried to add captions to each of the pictures so hopefully those display. If you can't view the slideshow here's the link to the album. Let me know what you think about this format. Does it work for you or not?

Anyway...I hope you enjoy these as much as we did living them!!

Introducing...Easton Douglas Anders!

Easton Douglas Anders - 3 days old More pictures @ http://www.our365.com/ He's here, he's here!!!  Jace and I welcomed our son Easton Douglas to the world this past Saturday, April 16th at 4:22 PM and we couldn't be more proud.  It was an awesome experience...not so much in the "incredibly cool, can't wait to do it again" context but genuinely in AWE of how mother nature and modern medicine can work together to ease a woman and efficiently deliver a baby.  Before I tell you all a little bit about our story (again, no worries, I won't blast all the nitty gritty across your screen) I must say a HUGE thank you to our staff at Winchester Hospital.  Though I know not a single of of those doctors, nurses and other staff members will read this they will forever hold a special place in our hearts for the outstanding service and love they showed all three of us!!  They exceeded any expectations Jace and I might have had and just had to throw that out there. ...

My Bachelorette Weekend

Jace has been in MN since Thursday braving the cold with  Team Franchise at the 2011 US Pond Hockey Championship .  The team made it to Sunday again this year but unfortunately couldn't get by the "Pulled Hammies" this morning to advance to the finals.  Better luck next year, boys! :( So, since he's been gone I've been catching up on projects around the homestead since it's been so damn cold outside.  On Thursday night I scanned in about 80 old family photos that I had received over the years from my Aunt Kathleen.  I decided to do this because I'm building an online baby book for mini-Ma$e and you can add pictures - thought it'd be fun to add some old family photos.  Anyway, I won't overload you with too many but here are some of my favorites...the rest can be viewed here . Moving on... Friday started off with another snowstorm - excellent.  Hanscom was open for business...well, that is, for everyone ex...

Trunk or Treat 2013

We just got back from Trunk or Treating at Easton's daycare...how flippin' fun (and pretty roarsome as Henry Hugglemonster would say). Mr. Blondie waiting for the trunk or treating to begin! Still figuring out that the chocolate must be unwrapped first. No hurry to explain :) Homeless Lion with a Market Basket bag. Score one for the parents. Some pretty creative pumpkins!
