On the 18th I threw a baby shower for my little sister. It was a lot of fun. I liked the food the best! BRUNCH. Yummy.
As always, Mel was hilarious, and beautiful.
I was happy that we finally sold our house and could throw a shower for her in my new place.
I put this sign in the yard so our guests knew where the shower was.
When my mom was very sick, Melanie thought ahead and bought some material so my mom could make some receiving blankets. She tried doing some crochet around the edges but it made her feel worse and she didn't get the blanket finished. (I remember watching her try as hard as she could but it was just too difficult. Mel wasn't expecting yet but she knew that mom wasn't going to be here when she was. She found out she was pregnant a few weeks after my mom died.)
Aunt Jan took over the project and gave Mel the blanket at the shower.On the back of the blanket she stitched...
I tried.

There wasn't enough Kleenex in the room.
Judi was my lovely assistant. When she found out my collar bone was broken she jumped right in and mostly threw the party. (She was my oldest brother's girlfriend in high school. Its been years since we've been around each other but it seems like I've always known her. She is a sweetheart.) Thanks to my Aunt Jan too. She brought a couple of Yummy Breakfast Casseroles.

Looks like it was a beautiful shower. And I LOVE the picture of Abby and Keldon! So cute! :)
ReplyDeleteThe shower looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love how you hung all the onsies. That's one of my favorite ways to give a baby gift....all strung together with clothes pins. So cute!
So cute. How touching that your sister was able to get a baby blanket from your mom who has passed now. I was almost crying! Great idea for the onesies.. I'll have to remember that.
