Suppose to Just Be a Little Get Together with a BBQ

So I had a dream of a little get together to say hi to all our friends and family and good luck to Avarie as she heads to transplant. Instead I had some amazing friends take over for me and gave Avarie the Grandest Party Ever! We pulled up to a live DJ fully decked out with speakers larger then my children, a princess bouncy house, tables of food and goodies, a table full of fun auction stuff that I wasn't allowed to bid on and friends and family starting to arrive. There was a cotton candy machine and snow cone machine, which the kids ate on the whole time. Three lovely young ladies dressed up as Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty and followed Avarie around the entire time helping her, they also did face painting. Then Batman showed up, the best Batman EVER! He did the most amazing performance and show for the kids, with magic and balloons. The kids had the best day ever and so did Mom and Dad. Well actually Craig wasn't feeling well and took a sick little baby home early, but the rest of us enjoyed every moment until it all came down.
Thank you Everyone who came, it was so much fun to have all of our friends and family in one place. We see our family at family gatherings once or twice a year, sometimes we run into each other more often. Our friends that were there ranged from friends that I haven't seen since high school to friends from the Gladstone Ward where Craig and I grew up to friends from our current Ward and the in between time. We might see those people occasionally here or there or on Sundays, but to have so many of our friends and family in one place all together for us was so much fun. I loved every moment.
Thank you everyone for bringing such good food and buying things from the auction. With Craig out of work every little bit helps us right now and we are so grateful to all who donated or bought something at the auction.
I would also like to say a special Thank you to a couple of women who are amazing and put this all together in just four days for Avarie. I am just blown away by them and all they were able to accomplish and all they were willing to accomplish. They are amazing people.
A lot of people took pictures yesterday, these are a few I took off a friends blog that she took. I hope she doesn't mind. I will post more as I find more. Thanks.
