Celebrations

It would seem that our past few weekends have been full of happy celebrations.. last weekend a wedding and Mother's Day, and this past weekend a baby shower for my cousin Meaghan. It was a perfect day for a shower, and I was excited to be with family that I don't get to see that often.

 I met up with my sisters, Becky and Rachel at Rachel's house, and then we all walked over to the shower. Sadly, my Mom (recovering from surgery) Kassy (who was at a wedding) and Sadie (who had to work) wasn't able to join us....

I thought this was such a good idea and wanted to share. Danielle (who helped arranged the shower) hung this picture frame from a swing set. And then, as each guest arrived, she took their picture to make a memory book of all the guests for Meg. Very sweet.....

And here is the beautiful Mom to be. She and her hubby have decided not to know what they are having.. so the gifts were all great surprises....

 Abbie wasn't sure why this wasn't a birthday party.. it had all the right makings... people, good food, presents and a cake.. so she really wanted to help out with the gifts. Meg was so sweet and said yes... but after a bit, Abbie thought playing outside was more fun that looking at "baby things"...

It was such a nice time, so well thought out. There were several little girls there, and they all had such a fun time outside together, while the adults visited. This little toad that the little girls found was a huge hit (I'm so glad they didn't bring him inside!!!)

Abbie got to try her first trampoline... she thought that was so much fun. It was just a wonderful afternoon, and we are anxiously awaiting the news of another new family member... joining us in July.
