What a beautiful day it was! This afternoon we celebrated the soon arrival of my newest grandson with a baby shower at Bethany's house. It was a lovely occasion.
The gathering was small, just our immediate family, Aunt Margie, and our favorite Morgan. We also had a few small children whose daddy was unexpectedly away for the afternoon.
Because it was such a gorgeous day, because life is short, and because the dessert was so pretty, we ate it first. There is nothing prettier and more lovely to eat than cheesecake unless it is cheesecake with fresh fruit on top.
The table was set with fine china, doilies, and a vase of pretty flowers. Simple and sweet.
The new momma was looking radiant and ready to pop at any moment. (Isn't she cute?) Oh, goodness! I don't know if this small child will wait until I come home from my vacation at the end of September!
We had a fine time watching Sabrina open gifts. I brought along another monkey because babies do love monkeys, you know. I tucked my very own handmade afghan in the bag too, and it says "Happy Birthday" because that will be happening very soon. Besides, with a monkey to tuck inside of it, how could I resist such a cool gift bag?
Once the formalities were over, we settled down to a cup of coffee or tea and enjoyed our time together.
It was a very nice afternoon if I do say so myself!
It was very nice!

Snow? Oh, dear! I hope it doesn't stick around too long.
DeleteIt was quite lovely! The little one only ate peanuts and pretzels from pretty china plates and they did okay with that.

Wow! That is lovely shower. It seems like there are o lot of people now that are celebrating their baby showers. The table was perfectly set. The foods look so delicious, especially the cheesecake. Everything is really beautiful.

Thanks, Shannon! My daughter did most of the work. I just bought veggies, pretzels, and peanuts, and took pictures. It was, like I said, sweet and simple. Maybe it's really best that way.
