The morning after Halloween, Avery and I got in the car and headed east for Cecily’s baby shower. Ironically in 2013 I also was in the car bright and early the morning after Halloween, but the visit was for a much different reason. Anyway, I am sure I hoped Avery would sleep on the trip after a late night trick or treating. I am sure she probably didn’t.
We made good time (aka, only had to stop once for a potty break) so we got to the venue a little early. Avery was able to occupy herself by helping out with a little bit of the last minute decorating. She worked on the centerpieces and confetti! Such a good little helper.
The food was sooo yummy and plentiful and the cake and decorations were so cute. The shower was held at an old historic train depot.
Cecily received so many nice things for the baby!! And of course she had a little helper!
These are 2 of my mom’s best friends. I can’t even begin to describe all the wonderful ways they have helped our family in the last 3 years. Avery loves her Miss Teresa and Miss Kelly!
We like to think that this group right here raised my brother! The 2 younger girls are his age and they have been inseparable basically since birth. Definitely one of the perks of small town living!
And then we had to get Miss Avery in the picture. She was initially very upset Uncle Matt wasn’t going to have a girl, but once we explained to her that she would be his one and only princess, she has since perked up about the situation!
Avery and I hung out on the playground for a bit. Until she saw Uncle Matt, who had come to transport the gifts home, and ran across the grass towards him and jumped in his arms.
Love this picture! And can’t wait to meet that little boy!
