Aunt Nancy was our Hostess for a very fun and imaginative Baby Shower for Kat held in a large, sunny room in a building at the park. The decorations were really awesome and we played many games that none of us had seen before.
Nancy's Homemade Lemonade was absolutely delicious, served with lots of fresh lemon. The recipe she gave us was so easy for such a superior flavored lemonade that you can make great quantities of at home for almost nothing! It is clear water colored but packed with a sweet and sour taste. It was served over the large ice cubes in the bowl made by Mom. Each cube had a tiny baby in it and when the cube melted, releasing the baby, the owner of that drink called "My water broke!"
Apparently, I was having so much fun at the Shower that I neglected to take a picture of the new Mom-To-Be who looked fabulous in a full length summer dress. I hope that she will forgive me for posting these hilarious pictures of both she and her husband COMBINED after we cut and pasted individual face shots of both of them to try to predict what the Little Guy's face will look like!
I was excited to give Kat an afghan that I crocheted for her baby using most of her nursery colors.
We each took home a decorated bag of popcorn in honor of Kat's upcoming delivery.
Speaking of which, let's offer a prayer for her safe Delivery:
O Lord God Almighty, Creator of all things and Giver of knowledge to mankind; Who fashioned the body of man from the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, granting him Your blessings, that he might increase and multiply by means of the birth of children: We fervently entreat You Who loves mankind to bless this Your servant, Kat, who is with child, granting her help and comfort at this trying time. Ease her labor and bring her to a safe delivery. Yes, O Lord, open the treasury of Your mercies and Your compassion to her, and let her give birth to a fruitful vine to be a cause of joy to her all the days of her life. For You are blessed, together with Your Only-begotten Son, and Your Most-holy, Good and Life-creating Spirit, now and forever. Amen.
