Baby Shower--BLAST OFF!

And it's finally here! Jerry and I brew coffee and go for a slow 3 mile run. Great way to boost the energy(only slept for 4 1/2 hours) and then we start setting up, doing last minute food,etc. Roseanne drops off her gorgeous cupcakes and candy twirled pretzels and trades for a cup of coffee. By the time all is said and done, coffee brewing in the large pot, cranberries added to the salad, I didn't even get a chance to shower! I threw on a dress and checked on my "staff" Danny,Ryan and Collin serving drinks, Jerry refilling things, Molly greeting at the door and Charlotte carrying gifts to the sun porch.
Menu:
Apps- pepper jack cheese and crackers,spring rolls
main-spinach salad, chicken salad with croissants/foccacia rolls, summer slaw, lemon potato salad. Asian salad, fruit salad, mini muffins.
dessert- Baby cake,cupcakes,sea salt caramels, dipped pretzels and dipped marshmallow kabobs
party favours-homemade lemon blueberry scones or brownies in cute bags

We played a couple of games after lunch; a guessing grab bags, a famous mother quiz, and a read-aloud quote

I think it went well! Cammy seemed happy with all the gifts she recvd and it is always fun to see all the cute presents. Highchair,stroller,bouncy seat, blankets,outfits,

We also did new mom advice cards and a book basket.

And off we go! Cammy will head to Fort Drum on 9/2, and her Mom will follow on the 12th. She said she would let us know when she has the baby(I would imagine!!!)and she and her Mom,Annabelle and a friend left at 6:30pm.

I clean and crash!
They'll know we are Christians by our LOVE!
