The BabyShower Pictures

Even though it rained all day and is still raining now, Emma's day turned out really nice. And guess what? Dan's Mom even came. There was 18 of us there. I made enough food for an army and there was so much left, I was making plates for all to take home, lol. And Emma and I don't have to cook dinner tomorow because we got left overs, lol. Emma got so many beautiful things for her new baby when she arrives next month. And of course the hat made with all the bows was a big success. We had Emma, Dan, Grandma Mazzoli, Rebecca, Marissa and even Dans brother Bill to wear the hat, lol. Dan says to me, Please Mom don't plaster that pic of me with the hat all over the internet. I told him I would never do that, I was just going to put it in my journal, on the internet, lol. Of course the next union meeting he attends with Joe, there will be a pic of Dan wearing that girlie hat being passed around, lol.

Emma got diapers, bibs, wipes, outfits, sleepers, sleeper gowns, onesies, bibs, hats, booties, hooded towels, washclothes, receiving blankets, bottle warmer, bottles, diaper bag, changing pad, parents survival kit which has medicines of all kinds in it, and cards with money.

It rained so to be able to cook on the grill, Joe, Jim and Bill put up beach umbrellas and a big blue tarp. That rain wasn't stopping food being cooked on grill, lol. Of course the kids loved it. They said it was a giant tent and went outside to play while the guys were outside cooking.

Everyone had a great time, enjoyed all the food and company, and had lots of laughs. It went well I think. And I have to tell you this, it is so funny. Marissa, Rebecca and my great-niece Kaylei had a party of their own downstairs in Marissa's room. They took their applejuice boxes, chips, pretzels and streamer rolls of pink and white down to Marissa's room. They were going to decorate the room but needed tape. Well, Marissa goes into the bathroom gets a box of panty liners of Emmas and they use these panty liners to stick up the streamers. I should of gotten a picture of it but I didn't. It was so funny. And the girls thought they did a beautiful job at decorating too. There was panty liners and streamers stuck everywhere. Those girls are too much, lol.

Well guess that's about it. I'm tired. I have 127 alerts to read, but I won't get to all of them tonight. I'll save them for tomorrow. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Love to you all.....................CINDY

  10. Great party Cindy thanks for sharing the wonderful pictures with us.  We don't have baby showers here in the U. K. When a new baby is born. mum gets visitors and presents and cards after she gets home  from the hospital, and everyone can see the new arrival, but I thik this is a great idea. The food looks great and its lovely to see pictures of all the family.  Loved the story of the panty lines. . What are they like I had a good laugh about that. I hope you can have a great rest now after all your hard work. Bye for now Kathie.

  11. OMGosh got to say I loved the family pics the best, well and the one with Daddy and his little girls... oh wait can't forget my lil man he's too cute. That was hilarious about the pantyliners I wish you had gotten pics of that. I can imagine. Ky always wants to open tampons and pull the strings.. don't ask me why. Everyone looks like they had a great time. She got lots of things that's so wonderful. I love that medicine kit that's usually what we give just because nobody thinks of it hardly. Thanks for sharing... now we have to wait for the baby.
    Take care, Chrissie

FROM THE LOOKS OF IT, EMMA SHOULD BE HAVING MY LITTLE COUSIN SOON. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE LITTLE DARLING. SHE MADE OUT LIKE A BANDIT WITH ALL THE GIFTS AND I AM HAPPY THAT THE BABY WILL BE WELL TAKEN CARE OF. YOU'RE LUCKY TO BE A GRANDMA AND I CAN'T WAIT TO BE ONE MYSELF BUT I KNOW THAT WILL BE A WHILE. I WAS WONDERING, DID YOU MAKE THAT PRETTY CAKE FOR HER SHOWER? IT WAS VERY LOVELY. GIVE EMMA AND SEXY DAN A KISS FOR ME. SMOOCHES

  27. I have missed you and reading journals like I used to.  This looks like so much fun.  And I know you are by now wondering where the heck the letter from me is.  It's coming.  I have had a lot of personal stuff happening and am going to journal about it soon.  That party looks like so much fun.  Can't wait until the baby is here!
    Still cherishing the cross you sent.  I think of you every day when I see it.  Thank you so much, my sweet friend.
