April Showers Bring May Flowers




Well I should say January & February & March and April showers! This season of my life is marked by showers, mostly of the bridal shower variety with a baby shower thrown in here and there and punctuated by a few weddings! Linda, Tess & I seem to be involved in hostessing at least part of each shower we have been to over the past months. We have been joking that we should start a business because we are getting pretty good at these things.

This shower was for our friend Melissa. She actually moved away about a year ago but she is getting married in a month and we wanted to throw a shower for her. Her best friend Shelley was going to throw the shower but since she lives pretty far out I offered to have it at my house. Well Shelley was pregnant and ended up having her baby the week before the shower (5 weeks early). Little baby Sean (pictured above) is cute as a little button but threw a wrench into the plans. This shower was wonderful because everyone pitched in to make it come together. It was very relaxed and because it was just about 12 people everyone was able to really visit with one another. It was a beautiful day outside and such an enjoyable afternoon. I love how each celebration is unique, no matter how many you go to. It was wonderful to get to know Melissa's family better and to enjoy this wonderful afternoon together!
