Months ago my girls and I planned this day to shower Kelsi with things to help her prepare for little Miss Sadie Lou's arrival. This day got here fast and Sadie Lou will be here very soon too. I wasn't sure we could pull off a shower with me being gone the week of the shower but because I have such great girls I knew it would be fine. Usually I worry about the house being clean enough but I can' count on Kimleighel. She is a very good cleaner and does a really good job. Natalie is very thoughtful and thought to come and help Kimleighel. I knew as soon as we walked in the back door that things were ready. I didn't even walk into the kitchen or family room until the day of the shower. I just knew it was ready. I am very thankful for my girls and all their help.
Having older girls is so nice because they help with the food. I am really thankful for that as well. I got up early and went to Sam's for crescents, grapes and chicken and then to another store for balloons. I was pretty much ready and able to attend another baby shower that was in our ward. I got home in time to make the chicken salad for the sandwiches. My girls brought chips and dip, a salad and dessert. It turned out really good.
I don't know why but I tend to worry a little if anyone will come. You know...did we choose a good day for this. I shouldn't worry though because we are always supported well. We had most of our family come and those that didn't were either sick or had previous commitments. They were missed. I love visiting or at least seeing everyone visit with each other. It makes my heart happy.
My friends are always a wonderful support. I love them and appreciate their efforts to always be there for me and my family. Most of my friends that I invite have been my friends since childhood or early in my marriage. They are the forever kind of friends. The ones I call family. I am so thankful for all my friends that were able to come and even the ones that weren't. I know it's not always possible to attend everything. I have the best friends ever!
I love that the little ones come and make memories and enjoy the other little's. It is so fun for me to see the little girls play together. Soon....we will be showering them. (YIKES!)
It was a fun day and I felt extremely blessed. Kelsi and Sadie got a nice variety of important things. I know Kelsi and Braxton are very grateful for all the love shown to them. They are so excited!
