I got to throw a party over the weekend…a baby shower for my soon-to-be-born grand-daughter, due May 1. I love to plan a party (this one with a dear friend) and I love to decorate, especially using the antique dishes I have collected over the years.
My son came along with his wife to take part in the festivities! And my husband helped in the kitchen and served the women. A friend of his stopped by and asked if he could come “out to play” but he said he had to work and recruited his friend to help him in the kitchen!
Right before the shower began I was attending to some finishing touches. I wanted to float some freshly washed rubber duckies, with pink bows and bibs, in the punch, but all three duckies went “bottoms-up’! People started to arrive and joined us in the kitchen all suggesting different ideas to try to make these ducks stay upright. Nothing worked. Finally we set them along the rim of the punch bowl which looked fine… but the ordeal was quite comical.
Introductions were made, a children’s book was read – and a devotional too – snacks were eaten, presents opened and questions answered as part of a “game”. The gifts were generous and laughter plentiful.
What a beautiful party and memorable day.
I love how your husband helped in the kitchen, then recruited his friend to also help. And I love that your son was included.
About a year ago I hosted a baby shower for my daughter. My granddaughter turns one next week.
Congrats!
Thanks Audrey…It was a fun day. My third grandchild…I can hardly believe it.
It will be fun to celebrate your granddaughter’s first birthday!
The parent’s to be as well as the whole party were lovely!
Thanks Starr. Glad you were there.
