My parents and sister and her family came in from NJ and Jarrods family came as well as lots of friends.  Colter was surrounded by many important people in his life.  We had the party at the community rooms at our local Giant.  Yes I know it sounds weird, a grocery store for a party, but the rooms are great and we go there for new moms group!!
