How about a glass of fresh summertime lemonade, while I tell you about one of the things that happened today. A sweet baby shower. As a Bishop's wife one of my functions is attending and supporting the families in the church. And when a baby shower is being held, I have the privilege of being invited to be a part of the private family affair.
This is a baby boy about to be born. His name will be Elijah and we will all love him when he makes his arrival. Look at how creative these are. Tiny baby blue shirts made out of the napkins! Too cute to use.
This table had a quilt under the puppy that was used by the grandmother when she was a baby! Now that is a real keepsake that is the centerpiece on one of the tables.
And the great grandmother painted this heirloom that decorates another table.
And here is another I thought you would enjoy seeing. It's a towering 'cake' made out of diapers!
Now how creative is that! And a useful one for mommy after the baby gets here. No mom ever has too many diapers to be prepared for the never ending diaper need of a baby.
And the food was elegant, beautiful to look at as well as to eat. Fresh fruits, and veggies, along with the mom's currant cravings for some junk food!
Food and drink gets everyone ready for a fun afternoon with friends and family members.
And the cake which must be at every shower to be complete. And by the end of the shower, Mommy has received gifts of all kinds and she feels a little more prepared for the life changing moment of giving birth to her firstborn child.
The three generations stand beside the newest mommy for the picture of a moment in time. We wish you well Amber!
