We Are Balloon Artists

Jeremy's not the only balloon twister in the family. He wasn't able to do an installation at the beginning of December so Jr., Lucky, and I used Jeremy's design to create a star for our friends' ward Christmas party. Lucky and I were up late the night before inflating balloons (and counting them) so we would be all set the next morning. 

I think it turned out pretty well. We even put lights on it. Funny thing is: Jr. missed out on setting up for our ward Christmas party because of setting up for this other one.

Our friend, Jennifer Eichelberger, took these pictures so we could see it after they hung it up:

 

We did go to our own ward Christmas party that evening. Jeremy was able to join us at the end then he, Lucky, and I went down to pop the balloon star and bring back the framing and lights.

 This is our family. We're balloon artists, jugglers, writers, and just all around awesome.

When Balloon Twisters Get Angry

Remember this guy?

I mentioned back in May that Jeremy made this costume and wore it while chasing our son around the Spanish Fork Library.
Well, in honor of Stan Lee's birthday, December 28, you can now see him chasing Jr. Jr. around in a new youtube video on Balloon Guy Entertainment's channel. 
And while you're there, watch "Balloon Bag End" again.  Did you know pictures of Balloon Bag End made it into Ripley's Believe It or Not book, "Dare to Look"?  Yep.  You should "dare to look."

You know you're a balloon twister if...

this is what your living room looks like when it's time to inventory balloons before another balloon order. The floor and couch and chair were empty before we started.
