A Diaper Cake

Before I post about the baby shower, I thought I would post about the diaper cake Joanna and I made for Jenny.

We got the idea off of internet somewhere and really liked it, so we gave it a try!

Her theme was Winnie - the- Pooh, so we collected things from here and there over the weeks and came up with quite a few things. Aunt Sharon also got things for it too.

It was surprising how many whinnie the pooh things we found.

It takes lots and lots of pampers!!!

You begin by rolling pampers and holding them together with rubber bands to make the different layers.

Then you wrap blankets around the outside of the rolls.

We made our cake four layers, but you can make them smaller.

Here it is after we got all the things put on it.

It turned out really cute and I think that it is a perfect baby shower gift idea to give to someone!

A Wonderful Christmas Weekend!

Well, we had a wonderful Christmas! How about you guys?
We spent Saturday at the Schultz' (our adopted grandparents) and their family the Yeskes from Texas. We had a awesome meal, and then volley ball and games afterwards. It was such a blessing to be able to be with family and friends around this special day.
Christmas is a special day for all of us!. Exchanging gifts, laughter and love, but we must always keep in mind the real meaning of this great day that everyone looks forward too. It's about Jesus birth that we truly celebrate this day. God sent us His ONLY Son to earth as a Christmas gift for all of us. To take away our sins, so that they might be made as spotless white. "...though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be washed as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." We have been more then blessed with such a Christmas Gift as that!
