So, one of our friends offered to throw Mary a shower a while ago. It was held last week, on 4/12, at the Angerbauer's house here in the area. It sounds like there was a good showing and that everybody had a good time. Mary was feeling very ill at the time, but I think that it was good to get out and be social for a bit. Of course, people were very generous with some cute and fun things that Jane will look very adorable in for sure. A lot of people went in on a group gift: a new baby swing/cradle, it's the "Starlight Papasan Cradle Swing". This was something that we really wanted as it plugs in (why do they make so many of these battery-operated?) and can swing side-to-side or front-to-back. It will be very nice to have and thanks to all who contributed to this gift and other personal gifts. Below are some pictures.
The fun thing about this shower is that Sarah went. She had so much fun and, I think, felt very special being able to go to an all-adult party for her sister with her Mom. She had lot's of stories to share and was very excited to show me all of the things that baby Jane got and how cute she would look in this and that, etc. She was a proud big Sis.
Big surprise... Sarah was designated the present-opener for the event.
Lindsey (and her husband, Mark) goes all out on everything and is an amazing hostess... she even had her party and invitations (home-made) coordinate with the colors of Jane's room! She is a great friend and Sarah and Nathan really enjoy playing with her. And we enjoy getting together and playing board-games with them. She made some amazing brunch dishes that I got to enjoy later for lunch. Thanks so much for hosting Lindsey! Mary had a great time and I heard your hosting abilities were even more amplified then we had known.
