Hello out there. February was a long month, for me anyway. In between getting the house cleaned up & ready for visitors we (FW & I) had lots to do. FW suggested we make the invitations, and I loved that idea! We put our heads together and made many trips to Hobby Lobby, and came up with a super looking invitation! One that would make Jeffrey proud. Everyone loved the invitations and were impressed!

Well, all of the women/girls! All that the boys read on the invitation, was B&J's Pizza and 7:00 p.m, Most of the boys went to the wrong pizza place, until one of the mothers spoke to a couple of the boys and told them to spread the word, that the party was at the newer loaction!





LOL Only 4 of the boys ended up at the other B&J's, then eventually came to the party.
I bought Transformer plates for the cake. Jeffrey collected most of the superhero figures, the ones to put in a case for show. He also has a large collection of comic books, as most of his friends do. So, I thought they would love them! Well, the plates made them laugh. LOL I also made copies of a picture to pass out to his friends ( It's the one I have on here with Jeffrey sitting with his friends holding their skateboards.) We had a super turnout! There were about 25 people there.
Speaking of cakes! FW made two cakes for us! One for my DH's birthday on the 27th, and one for the party! They were pinapple upside down cakes. My DH and Jeffrey's favorite cake! All I can say is YUM-YUM!! And, she made them from scratch!!! Much thanks to my BFF. :)
One of the boy's Mr. T insisted that he bring something to the party. So, since I had told him that I was going to order another flavored cake, he said that he would have his sister make a cake. So, he had her make my favorite cake: Chocolate Fudge! It was very yummy too! Both of the cakes were finished quickly! Luckily, we still had some of DH's cake at home!
All of us were able to talk to everyone there and reminisce about Jeffrey. It was a sad, but joyous occasion to remember Jeffrey and the wonderful person he was; we even swapped funny stories about situations Jeffrey and some of his friends had gotten into. Most of the girls cried while talking about Jeffrey to me, my DH and my daughter. There were lots of hugs and tears.

One of Jeffrey's dear girlfriends is getting married in June. She was so upset that Jeffrey would not be here to be her best man. Yes, her fiance would allow that. He's a great guy.
I blew up a picture of Jeffrey and had it on one of the tables, everyone loved the picture. Luckily, there are so many pictures, not all of his friends have seen them all, or us, for that matter.

One of Jeffrey's long time high school sweethearts remembered some pictures she had, so she shared them with us on MySpace. There were 18 pictures!!! YEA!!!!!!!!!
Since the pictures were new to us, he seemed so real, so alive, and ready to pop out of that picture so we could hear his voice and feel his big hugs. He looked so happy in all of them. He looked great!
The party lasted longer than I thought it might, which I thought was wonderful! We were there for 4 hours! We left just as the place was closing up! We had a great time, everyone did. I will try to get a picture of the invitation in here. And, now I can finally read all of the blogs that I missed. I hope y'all are doing great.
