On April 19, Anne and I hosted a baby shower for Mary at my house. We knew it would be a tight squeeze but we hoped everyone would have a seat and hoped there would be room. We had a brunch shower. The theme was.....Baby. Clever, right? We wanted to have a fun, easy going, not a lot of games or requirements shower. We wanted to required part to be short so that people that needed to could get on their way.
The two grandmothers of the sweet baby!
(The child in Gigi's lap has pink eye in his right eye....courtesy of his sister.)
The "quilt square making" station
The Mom and some of the yummy food.
Another activity.... write messages on the diapers for Mom and Dad to read.
Some of the beverages.
Gifts, gifts, and more gifts.
This child is already so blessed.
"What do you think? Blue or pink?"
As everyone walked in the door, Mary greeted them and asked for a guess on boy or girl, birth date, and weight.
We had favors in the basket by the door.
They were thumbprint cookies from Trefzgers. One blue. One pink.
Sweet Brenna came :)
She enjoyed a delicious plate full of food.
Present time.
We started presents pretty early because we didn't want the shower to drag on. Being Easter weekend, we knew everyone had plans and didn't want to spend their entire Saturday at a baby shower.
This baby will be prepared for swimming the day he or she is born!!!
Mary had a little helper with her presents.
We had a buffet of food. Hasbrown casserole, an egg casserole, fruit, dips, cinnamon rolls, sweets, biscuits.
Clearly I am proud of this part since I did have multiple pictures of it.
The quilt decorating table.
Typical place for Aunt Didi. In the kitchen. Doing dishes. Helping out.
She was also loving on this big, one eyed, green drainage monster.
Great Grandma Ann....holding Alana...great grand baby #5
This sweet boy was mowing and having a blasty.
I love this picture of these two.
They both look beautiful.
These two LOVE each other. Best cousins.
How sweet is this picture??????
This sweet girl was exhausted once everyone left!!!
She was such a good girl.
She was so tired that she fell asleep sitting up. I walked out of the room and came back a minute later and this is what I found.
