Flint's Celebration - Rainbow

We wanted to have a special celebration for Flint.  We picked a rainbow theme since we believe Flint is in heaven and we wanted this to be a colorful celebration in honor of Flint's life.  Here are some detailed pictures of the party. 

Amy's Famous layered Jell-O

Brownies & White Choc Oreo's

Beautiful Rainbow Fruit Kabob's that my mom put together.

Chocolate Filled Cupcakes 

Colorful M&M Ice-cream that Joanna put together.

I added this in last minute when I learned that Daddy's favorite things to eat a birthday party are the different kinds of Chips & Dips.

Candy Buffet

Rainbow Drinks.

Flint's Memory Table. 

We made little note pads for everyone in honor of Flint.  I will have to post more on this in another post.  It was very colorful and was a great idea I found online using Paint Sample Swatches.

Even though the Butlers were not able to come home, we know they were with us in spirit. They sent us BEAUTIFUL flowers that worked out PERFECT to accent our party.

Flint's Celebration - Friday, Jan 27th

Sam took off work on Friday and we spent the day remembering our little son.  We went to Applebee's for a birthday lunch, then we got flowers and took them out to put on Flint's stone.  

In the evening we were honored to have a celebration party with family and friends. 

Here is our first family picture since Cray was born.  Cray looks so much like his daddy in this picture!!

 We had a balloon lift in honor of Flint.  I found the idea online to put glow sticks in the balloons.  But it didn't work very good outside.  They were little fishing glow sticks that will not affect the animals.  We were so honored and excited for all the support from family and friends!

 Fun pictures from the evening.....

Kora plays baby all the time at home.

Every sound Cray makes - Kora goes running to see if he is ok

She also LOVES doing the real thing with the 

very few bottle feedings that come along!

We were excited that the Butler girls even got to see him!!
