This weekend we had a baby shower for Heather with some of the girls from our high school class. We're pretty lucky to still be friends and the ones who live around home see each other quite often. It is always good to see these girls (I should quit saying "girls".....we're probably considered "ladies" by now!!). We all grew up together and I love thinking back to all the times we shared. It's hard to believe that we will be having our 20th high school reunion in just a couple years!
Back row: me, Keeli, Michelle, Christie, Carrie, Jenny; front row: Amy, Krista, Heather
Everyone brought a book for Hadley. Heather is a librarian so there will be no shortage of books in her house, but we thought it would be neat to give her a jump start. I chose A Sick Day For Amos McGee because it's the Caldecott Award winner this year. I want to try to get her the Caldecott book each year while she's little and then maybe move to the Newberry books when she can actually read! That's my plan, anyway.
Michelle brought her little girl, Avery. Michelle and I were inseparable in high school and I love that her daughter is the spitting image of her!!! But don't let that sweet face fool you..... she gives her mom a real run for her money!! Cracks me up!!! :-)
I spent the night at Jenny's and when we got home, we found Emilee asleep on the couch. I think she was waiting up on us but couldn't make it. I don't blame her..... it was WAY past my bedtime too!
It was so good to see everyone and maybe now that all the showers are over, Hadley can make her grand entrance into the world! We're all ready so I don't know what she's waiting for!! HA! Actually, I don't mind if she stays put for a little while longer. Heather's doctor wants her in Little Rock permanently a couple weeks prior to her due date so she will be staying with us and I'm really looking forward to that!!! Shamelessly selfish, I know!!
20 years???? You must have graduated when you were 10! T
ReplyDeleteThis Baby Shower was such a great event! I loved this blog post as it was way too interesting to read through it. Anyways dear, I am also in the need of some girly ideas for my cousin’s baby shower that I would be hosting at one of the local San Francisco venues. I wonder if anyone could help regarding it.
