Annah's Open House

We had an Open House/Graduation Party for Annah at the Community Center in Arrowsmith today after commencement!

We were able to get into the community Center last night to start setting up and decorating. Mom and Dad helped SO much this weekend with all the party setup!

Annah wanted lots and lots of balloons!  

We were so incredibly blessed to have Barb Whiteman offer to help with Annah's party, and it wouldn't have happened with out her!  She did all the decor for the tables, loaned us so many things,  made all the cupcakes...

...Barb also came to the community center this morning to help with food prep, and she stayed all day--during commencement (Thankfully, since it ran much longer than we expected, and people came over for the open house immediately after!), and until we had completely cleaned up after the party!  She is amazing, and we are so indebted to her!

.Barb also set up a Photo Booth in the room we used for Annah's memorabilia, and Jeremy got to be the tester!

Just before the party, the girls started the playlists of videos and photos, and turned on the twinkly photo clip-lights.

As soon as the kids arrived at the party, Barb made sure we got a family photo!

So many friends were part of this special day! I didn't get photos of very many!

Cupcakes by Barb!

Most were filled chocolate and vanilla cupcakes, but we should've asked for more of Annah's special request ones--orange creamsicle!  They were soooo good!

Mrs. Ayers is the only elementary classroom teacher to have had all 3 of our kids--1st grade. 

Annah was so touched that she came to the party!

Best cousin-friends!

It was a long and wonderful day!  We really appreciate everyone who helped with the party, and those who came to show Annah their support and celebrate with us!  We're so blessed by the love of our community and family and friends around us!!!
