The first weekend in April I threw cousin Tommy a sip and see. Sip and sees are fairly new (and apparently European); I had not heard of them until a few years ago when one was thrown for a friend. It's just a shower you throw after the big event- usually a baby's birth. It was a great way to introduce Tommy to all our friends that had not yet seen him. It was at my house and I kept with his jungle animal room theme for the shower.
One of my favorite things: a candy bar. The cards say things like "We love Tommy to pieces" on the Reeses Pieces and "Jumping for joy to have a boy" on the jelly beans. I'm totally unashamed that I stole that idea directly from the Hostess with the Mostess website.
There aren't any pictures of me holding Tommy because I didn't. My boys had both been sick that week and I'd had started to feel like I was getting it (I did by the way), so I played it safe and didn't touch him. It was such a bummer but still good to get a chance to see him.
With my mom and sister and Tommy, of course.
A picture with my girlfriends who came to meet Tommy. This was the day after I went red--- my hair was in what I call the neon stage. Thankfully, it faded quickly. =)
It was such a great sip n see! Your attention to detail serves you well in these situations:) everything was Sooo cute!
