Baby Shower

Brylee received a Baby Shower from her Grandparents!

Both set of parents went together on the baby furniture. We also gave them a few gifts to open as well. It was so much fun! For pictures and better details you can check out Jennifer and Cary's blog. Believe it or not Brenda and I coordinated the actual shower it in less than 3 hours on Friday. (We already had the furniture stored safely in the sitting area of our bedroom. The gifts I had were all on Jennifer's bed in her room.) from the time of let's do it, to getting with Jennifer and supper the next night , to arranging with Dawn if they could help with the moving of the furniture.

We could not have done as much as we did with out my friends Dawn and Craig. They went to pick up the dresser when it came in and then came and picked up the bed and dresser and took it to the apartment for us. I feel very blessed to have friends like them.

We knew we had to wait until they got the new apartment. We had hoped to have the furniture together and set up by the time they got home from church but they decided to wait and go on Sunday. Well I can tell you that they were in shock! Let's put it this way Chester did not bark at anyone that came into the apartment because of all the excitement and chaos.

We unloaded everything and then went to work putting it together. Stroller, dresser, and bed. Jennifer was busy putting the finishing touches on supper and walking around still in a daze! Once we had everything under control in the bedroom, Brenda went to help Jenn. We all took a break and ate together . It was so good I did go back for seconds! Then guys went in to finish the bed and the ladies were cleaning the kitchen.

We all then sit down and let Jenn and Cary open the gifts. Chester wanted all the rattlers and toys from the gifts.

I think we were all in and out of that room many times last night. I was in the room when Jennifer realized she had a few stuffed animals she could now take out. Then watching her open the drawers and put clothes away, decided where the burp cloths should go. It was just a little closer to all of this being real. I very special Brylee was very active last night. Jennifer said she was doing a lot of moving around. Jenn's afraid she is going to be a night owl like one of her name sakes.

You will need to read The Life as a McFadden to get more details. I understand. A truck pulled up that they thought was for the new neighbors upstairs to, Cary saw me, Jenn saw Brenda, then Cary saw Dawn and then Jennifer saw her daddy and then we were all at the front door!

I had a great evening doing this for Jennifer, Cary and Brylee. I hope the memories of all of us coming together and surprising them. Putting all the furniture together. Eating together as a family. Laughing and talking will be a special moment for all of us for years to come!
