There was only one teeny tiny snag - our registry! Apparently, there is another Karin O'Brien in NY, who is having a boy, registered at Baby's R Us (but registered as Karin OBrien - no apostrophe). That caused some confusion, as we did get some items for boys. Of course, we don't know yet if we have a boy or girl, but that was just a small hiccup!
The decorations for the party were way too adorable! Green & Yellow were the colors. Danica had beautiful vases with pretty pretty flowers, and these cute (and DELICIOUS) little yellow mint chocolate duckies wrapped in tulle for each guest. Danica's mom (Mrs. DeBoer) had metal baskets which we put the mints/m&m's candy corn snackies in, and Karli & Mom made these awesome decorated Fuse bottles that held the balloons down. Dad whipped out most of the food (Uncle Paul did help a bit). The food and drink (which I didn't include pictures of) was DELISH!!!!
I just don't think it could have been prettier!
The games went off without a hitch, and Pat and I received so many wonderful gifts! And NO doubles! That was the best part, really! No schlepping tons of things back to exchange :) Every single thing we got (even many things not on the registry), we totally needed and won't clutter our house! Here are some photos of those:
Here are a couple people pictures:

From beginning to end, it was about two hours long, which was just about perfect. I was exhausted by the time we were finished cleaning up, though. It was really nice to go to my parent's home and float in the pool.....weightlessness for this preggo body is soooo sooooo fantabulous!Thanks again, to everyone who helped, and everyone who came! It was great seeing everyone!
