The shower had a great turn out and I think everyone enjoyed themselves! It got a little chilly at times, but the hot apple cider and tea I think helped take the bite away. The morning started out with me making quiche for the first time in my life. I was a little nervous, probably should have practiced but it turned out. After the quiche was in the oven and Josiah was down for his morning nap, my neighbor who is NEVER home, and who's house is an eye sore, decided to show up and start doing yard work at 10 am with a mower without a muffler!! Can you feel my stress level rising? I tried everything to get his attention from across the fence and since I had Josiah asleep in the house and the monitor doesn't reach that far I had to settle until he was awake to go and ask him to take a break from 2-4 pm. While I was waiting to go speak to him, Josiah was sleeping, quiches were baking, I was still without a shower, my door bell rings. Who else but Jehovah witnesses here to tell me that I am going to hell. So standing there at 10:45, still in my pj's, yelling over the noise from next door I, as kindly as I could, got rid of them as fast as possible before I blew a gasket. My sweet friend Rebecca came early to help me set everything up and do last minute things for me and I had her jump the fence and see how long my neighbor was going to be working outside like that. She got him to agree to stop before 2, which is when the shower began, and was such a help to me the entire day. From helping me set the table to carrying the chair outside for Elizabeth to making the baked brie last minute so that I could finally bathe.
The shower in my opinion turned out very cute! My sister Helen was sweet enough to bring a little table she has for her little boys over for all of the kids to site and play at. The weather was perfect I think. Not to cold but cold enough.
Elizabeth is due mid December and looks so great! I havent been able to see her lately because of busy schedules and illness but I am so happy that I was able to host the shower for her.
I thought it was really cool how alot of the presents she received here home made. From blankets and burp cloths to the little wash cloth duckies.
Here are a few pictures, there are so many I want to post but I have already gone on way to long! Enjoy!
