Now, if I have this right, you give your one year old three choices, a cross/rosary, money (a coin) & a shot glass. You let the child pick one. Which ever is picked will give you a heads up on what the future has in store; a religious one, a saver or one who enjoys the party!!!
Gwyn, has a full future of parties to enjoy as you can see she headed straight for the shot glass!!!!
Gwyn's family from "Oz!"
Going to kill two birds with one stone! Gwyneth Ann Wade is the big 0-1!!! Her party was great fun, beginning with a road trip to Chicago~ and Riley practicing "Cago" almost the whole way there. She was a super trooper on the ride to and from, which worried me before take-off!
We arrived on Friday night and enjoyed watching Gwyn & Riley play together~which consisted for awhile of Gwyn pushing Riley around the house on her car! Too cute! Then, a fine dinner, which Christine made for us. Big Brother & I then headed out for last minute party supplies. That time was nice too! (You can never get too much of Big Brother!)
Saturday, the rest of the "Wade" troops arrived, Mom, Dad, Jade, Hayden & Dekota, just in time for the festivities!
Chris & Christine rented a gym near their home for the party, which was a fantastic idea! The weather this time of year is so unpredictable, so this gave an opportunity for all of the little people to run & play with no worries! There was also a costume contest! (Riley, a sock monkey, won for her age division!)
Saturday night, spent the evening in, with another fantastic Christine meal & then the Iowa football game.... I couldn't stay awake to enjoy the event, but I will say the game was so thrilling according to Dad & Big Brother, I am pretty sure there was a long embrace by the two of them by the end of the game!
We had a great time, too short of course, but will be making that trip again! Hopefully sooner than later!
Work in progress. Monkey suit not finished yet... but realized I don't have many pictures of Riley in it after complete... I loved the intimacy here. Riley & Monkey were having a "moment."
