For the party, we melted different chocolates, peanut butter, and caramel for dipping (thank you pinterest for teaching me how to make my own fondue). It was a big hit with everyone, especially Devin who spent his whole time standing next to the fondue jars. And everyone got really excited when I pulled out the Henry Winehart rootbeer and cream soda, it was very fancy! After we did some eating and mingling, everyone asked to watch our ultrasound video so they could guess what we are having (I swear, they really asked to see it...it wasn't my idea at all!) It was fun to watch it with everyone and point out all the different parts (at least the ones we could remember). They best parts were the audible gasps when we pointed out the beating hear, the little fists and feet, and the profile shot...
After everyone put in their guesses, we gave them all these way cute and yummy candy bars wrapped in gold wrapping (courtesy of RaeAnn) with the below notes inside revealing our baby's gender.
Then we played some funny games and continued to snack :) It was, strangely, the first party that Tommy and I have ever thrown since we've been married and I think it was quite successful! It was so fun to share our excitement with our friends. Now that we know we're having a boy, we are busy getting the nursery all decorated and ready and making our wish list for baby stuff, which is very exciting! I love shopping for my baby!! Hopefully all my crafts pan out like I imagine so we can have a way cute Harry Potter themed nursery

That is a cute idea. So fun that your friends were excited enough to watch the ultrasound dvd. Be honest, how many times have you watched it now? I can't wait to see all your personal touches and crafts to the HP nursery!
