Baby Shower

I had the privilege of helping to throw a family baby shower for Alexander and Ivy.  Latisha headed it up and I enjoyed helping where needed.  We got to have a craft day where we made all the decorations with our dear friends help.  It was a great time.  Then the big day finally came.

Alex and Ivy live about 5 1/2 hours away, so we were very blessed that they took time out of their busy schedule to come here and let us throw them a party.  The decorations were adorable, with a woodsy theme.  Then Ivy had asked for pie, so we had a wonderful pie buffet.  

It has been a while since we had seen them, so it was so fun to see how Ivy's tummy has grown into a perfectly round ball and the baby is moving very actively.  It is always a blessing to see my Son and daughter in law.  Such an exciting future ahead for the both of them.  

We also got to celebrate Ivy's birthday.  Happy Birthday Ivy.  I hope you had a wonderful day.  We had a brunch here with french toast and crapes topped with a cream cheese sauce and fruit.  Not to mention some bacon to top it off.  It is so wonderful to have Ivy as a part of our family and I do thank God for putting her and Alex together.  She is an awesome wife and it is with great excitement that we know she will be an amazing mom.  It was a good and fast trip.  But here are some pictures from the weekend.  God bless and have a blessed day.
