party time!

We are so grateful to Margie for hosting a wonderful meet-the-baby party for Owen! To avoid travel late in the pregnancy, we decided to have this party rather than a traditional shower, and it ended up being so much fun.  The attention was thankfully off my belly and on Owen (much cuter subject!), and men got to attend!  So many friends and family came, and we enjoyed catching up with everyone. I caught a few of the guests on camera as well as some of the delicious and adorable details.  Thanks, Mimi!

The baby feet theme was sweet! Those are Owen's piggies in the big picture.

Great Aunt Elaine arrived before Owen was out of his jammies for some early snuggles! 

Great Aunt Linda wore her baby blue! 

We had to stop cousin Dee from giving Owen a taste of frosting! Look closely...you'll see her cupcakes are arranged to spell "Owen Norton".

Such a sweet shot of three generations.

Margie and her best gal pals! 

Owen was smitten with Cheryl and Linda! 

Our friends Rick and Becky and their 9 month old Luke came from Buffalo.  Luke made Owen look tiny again! 

Owen: "Dad, who are all of these bearded men?!"
