Baby Shower

It’s been a practice among our friends to celebrate the events in our children’s lives.

There’s a bridal shower when any of our children marry and now when the grandchildren are born, we hold a shower for the first child of each family.

Last week it was our youngest son’s first child that we celebrated. Julia was born at the beginning of May, 5 weeks early so we waited a month before celebrating her birth.

Jan hosted the shower and had the table decorated so beautifully.

Julia was the centre of attention and was passed around as everyone wanted to hold her.

We were so happy to have Adele’s mom attend. She was visiting from Peace River.

Before the shower was all cleaned up Betti, Lorraine, Jan and Pat were already planning a bridal shower for another friend’s son’s fiance’. I feel so blessed to have such a supportive and loving group of friends.

That is a nice tradition of love. The table decorations were so creative and pretty! Glad your Julia, Son and DIL were celebrated!

What a wonderful way to bless you kids.....a group of friends just pouring love onto the next generation.
A good example to us that will hopefully walk that path someday.

That was a lovely shower and your little granddaughter is beautiful! It's always fun getting together to shower these young families with practical gifts and also to encourage them in their new roles as parents.

Sweet!! I am hosting a baby shower next Thurs. so I'm checking out your table decorations. I think I just might be able to shift your theme to blue - since it's a little boy we're celebrating!:)
