Last weekend we were in NC for our daughter and SIL's baby showers. Their friends were having one on Saturday and we were hosting one for our family and friends. Two of her friends hosted first. They came over and set up some very cute and delish food. We set up pop up tents outside with tables and they scheduled when friends could stop by so there were only a few folks there at the same time. Then after the drive by folks came by the Zoom shower began.
Here you see the pregnant mama and her 2 friends that hosted the party.
Then on Sunday we hosted the family shower.
On Friday I opened all the Amazon boxes and combined the gifts and wrapped them all in brown paper and tied them up with Tulle ribbon.
The big gift I made was the milestone mat. I'm not sure it was exactly what she wanted size wise. It turned out a little on the large size. I used left over blocks from their wedding quilt for the center. I paper pieced the letters and numbers. I used a aqua minky for the back.
It was a whirlwind of a weekend.

I have three children but only the youngest has given me grands - three of them - all at the same time. I was able to gift them with the cribs car seats and strollers - all very expensive items. I have since upgraded the cribs to youth beds and car seats to boosters - they started 4th grade yesterday. Sadly we are 2500 miles apart and I have not been able to see them since last November and don't know when I will be able to see them again - thank goodness for technology! Congrats on your grand to be!
Lots of lovely photo's to look at - congratulations to everybody :)
The milestone mat is awesome. What a great way to see how much the baby grows over time.
I'm sure you all had a wonderful time!! Loved the mobile and the pictures of the food made me hungry! Loved all the presents! What a lucky baby ( and parents!) ! Congrats to all especially the grands!
