Welcome to The Family - Puppy Party

About a week after I had adopted my little puppy Jax, my sister told me she had a surprise for me. She said that she wanted to throw Jax a "welcome to the family" party! I have to give a little background as to why her gesture meant so much to me. As I mentioned in my "How Our Two Became Two And A Half" post, my family was very diligent in trying to convince me not to adopt a puppy. I will admit, I was a little bummed that they weren't more excited for me, when I told them I had found my puppy.

Me and my sister are very close, and I really value her opinion. I remember us having several conversations where I asked her to just support my decision enough though she wasn't crazy about the idea. I was really excited when she came to PetsMart with me to pick out all of Jax's puppy supplies, but I could tell she still had some reservations.  So when she told me about this party, I knew it was her way of showing her support.

Since, I had never been to a puppy party, I really didn't think the "party" would be more than me bringing my puppy to my sister's house, so they could meet him. When me, my hubby, and Jax showed up to my sister's house, I was completely shocked. She had made the cutest puppy themed treats for us to eat, decorations, and even got my mom and little brothers to come. The treats were definitely my favorite. She made puppy chow with little graham crackers in the shape of dog bones, and all the cookies had a "J" on them. My niece was very proud when she told me she helped her mommy with all of the treats for the party. She was so excited to meet Jax and is so cute with him.

I should have known that this wouldn't be just a family gathering. My sister always throws the cutest parties, she is so crafty! I have the best sister in the world, and am so thankful to have her as a best friend.
