November 4th we had a "Boy or Girl party". Amanda and Chris had their ultrasound to check on the baby and it was developed enough to determine whether it is a girl or boy. They had the technician write the sex on a piece of paper and put it in a sealed envelope. They took the envelope to a bakery and had them make cupcakes filled with a cream center ... blue for a boy and of course pink for a girl. We met at their house to eat pizza and then everyone got a cupcake. We all peeled off the wrappers and took a bite at the same time. It had a BLUE center ! A new Grandson ... Woooo Hoooo ! I made this table decoration to go along with the theme of our party. Once we found out it was a boy, I popped the pink heart.
After Mickey and his family headed home, Chris and I went to the Michiana Balloon Twister's meeting. We made a lady bug, laser gun, and a penguin. We talked about what to make for our January meeting and a few wanted to learn the Top Hat that I make. When Chris and I returned to his house he asked bout the top hat, so I walked him through how to make it and this is what it looked like. We used different colors to learn the pattern. I think he did a great job !
