Baby Shower Blessings

01/21/2014

If there's anything more fun than getting a bunch of girls together to eat yummies and "ooo and ahhh" over baby stuff, I don't know what it is!

And you gotta love it when Mommy-to-be Kara shows up fashionably-but-quite-by-chance perfectly coordinated with the shower color scheme!

Kara's sister-in-law Dana and sister Kelli put together a wonderful baby shower!

The decorations were SO CUTE, brightening up an otherwise dreary January day.

After a scrumptious brunch and a couple of games (during which I found out that the youngsters in our crowd didn't know the classic nursery rhymes nearly as well as us, shall I say, more "oldsters"!)...

...it was time for Kara to open her many, many baby gifts.

One of the more unique and creative gifts...a custom-framed photo of Baby Gray!

Kelsey was right in the thick of the action...and got a little attached to a few of the gifts!

Kassie "trying out" one of the baby's new rattles...

So many DARLING little things!!!

Speaking of DARLING little things...

Kara with her Grandma Faye and Mom Peggy...

A couple of Kara's close friends...her college roommate Claire and a girlfriend Krista from where she used to work. (Small world...Krista is married to the son of my former high school track coach who was also an elementary teacher co-worker/friend of mine...crazy connections!)
