Courtney's Baby Shower

Before I get into my recent trip, I want to share Courtney's baby shower which was held the day before we left.  It was held just outside of Tuscaloosa, AL where Courtney lives, about a two hour drive for us.  Heather and I went together and had a nice Italian lunch before the shower.

There was an arrow theme for the shower.  The shower was given by Courtney's friends from work.  It was held at one of her friend's beautiful, practically brand new home.


A welcoming entrance.



It was a Pinterest worthy shower for sure!  Every detail was attended to!

We were greeted and told to help ourselves to the Mom-osa bar.  There was champagne and sparkling grape juice to go along with the orange juice and cranberry juice and assorted fruits for garnish.  There were also cups of party mix, donut holes and cookies





Lots of "real" food on the bar.



The cutest arrow fruit skewers!


Ham and cheese sliders, sausage balls, cheese ball and dips.



A drink bar (tea and water).


After eating, Courtney opened a ton of gifts.



This face cracked me up!






The house was absolutely beautiful as you can see in these pictures of guests.






 The patio was also beautiful with this wonderful fireplace.


This sign was part of the décor but I think will hang in Duncan's room.


This is his door hanger for the hospital.


We played a couple of quick, fun games.


The "necklace" on the left says "Mimi."  It was for Karen to wear.  There were also necklaces for Kaydee, Paige and Morgan. 


Family pictures.




We were given these s'mores bags as we were leaving..."Adding s'more love to our family."


We had a wonderful time and are looking forward to Duncan's arrival in early April...if not before!

We had another addition to our family on January 18th.  Julianne Renee was born to my great niece Claudia.  Claudia already has two small boys so a girl was a nice addition to the family!  Carolyn has not had a girl in her family since Claudia was born, over 30 years ago.

Here's proud grandma Kathy with Julianne.


We're anxious to meet her too!
