Happiness is Family and Friends!

My family and friends hosted a Baby Shower for us today! The shower was held at my Granny Mom's Tea Room, right next door to her house. It was extra special because I have grown up in that same building. She had her flower & gift shop there for years before she retired in 1994. We spent many hours there watching her arrange fresh cut flowers and she always gave us our own vase and flowers to work right along side her. She just recently told me that she personally bought every arrangement! Who would have ever known ;) She was a very loyal customer of mine for a LONG time! I have some special pictures of me and Kalina growing up there that I will post soon. It is neat to see all that we have done within those four walls! Actually, I spent my last night as a single woman in that building, now that I think about it. I am pretty sure I shed a few tears that night as I went to sleep reminiscing about all the fun times I had there and all the fun times to come. It is what I call and consider HOME!  We still spend lots of time in the building during the holidays and family get togethers. In the last 6 years our family has out grown her living room! She also utilizes the building to host tea parties and special events. I can't wait to show Miss B around and introduce her to my toy box that I had as a child. It is patiently waiting there for her!

Enjoy the pictures from the shower!

Brittany, my assistant at my office, made the cutest pacificers out of lifesavers and jelly beans! Larra made all the cupcakes for the shower. And, YES, they were as delish as they look!

The fruit, dips, punch and sausage deviled eggs were so yummy!

My granny moms got really close in one of the games. They had to tear off a streamer and get it to go all the way around my belly, without going over, to win!

Tina, my sister in law, had a BMW onsie made for Brooklyn. Her initials are BMW, Brooklyn Marie Wolfford. Still one of my favorite gifts!

Crystal bought a tutu for Miss B. I look at it every single morning! She is will have some of her newborn pictures taken and she will be "tutu" cute :)

Diana, my commercial assistant at the office, and her mom made Miss B a quilt. The found a picture of this quilt in a magazine and cut out their own pattern and then quilted it all by HAND! It was amazing!

Crystal and her mini-me, Crysta!

Elizabeth and Leah are on the far right. Leah is going to teach Brooklyn a thing or two I am sure. As long as she doesn't teach her to fart and burp (like her mother) we will be fine! No telling what kind of trouble those girls will get in to :)

WOW...this is just part of the nursery from the day we got home from the shower. I had to get it all up and organized because I was blessed with another shower by my church family the following afternoon! (those pics to come)

IT WAS A SPECIAL DAY AND I AM VERY BLESSED
