Well, as promised the weekend was incredibly busy and it doesn't look like the beginning of the week is going to be any different. My friend Kelly's baby shower was a huge success on Saturday! She is married to one of my best guy friend's from college (he and Hubby actually were great friends in high school). She had one shower for family, friends & her church so needless to say there was quite the crowd in attendance and I think she opened presents for nearly an hour and a half. She got some of the most adorable stuff for their little girl Avery Adel & I even walked away with a prize from one of the games. We had great cake & punch and I got to visit with some friends that I don't see very often. I do have to admit--for just a brief moment all of the cute things made me ready to start having kids--that idea was quickly gone as I remembered all the work and responsibility that comes along with the cute clothes & decorations. I certainly want to be a mother--just not quite yet. ;o)
The beautiful mom-to-be!

After the shower, I braved the little bit of snow on the ground to go blow what was left of my birthday money. Then I headed home to help my friend Andrea with the surprise party for her husband. After running around like chickens with our heads cut off, we finally got everyone situated for the big surprise. My hubby was in charge of keeping Derek occupied most of the afternoon and until we were ready for them to come back to the party. I honestly think Andrea with some help from her family & friends actually managed to pull it off. I didn't take a ton of pictures but we had a great time hanging out with good friends.
Derek & Andrea's kids hung around for the surprise and then Grandma & Grandpa took them home. They really thought they should hide under the table for the surprise! How adorable!

Sunday afternoon I had another shower---of the bridal variety this time. It was a family shower so it was fairly short and I was able to get home in plenty of time to get ready for small group. My dear hubby worked so hard while I was gone--he vaccuumed, rearranged the furniture (like I had asked), finished the laundry, & worked outside to fix an issue with Bogey's pen. I often don't give him enough credit but he is honestly the best husband! He helps out so much and just when I think he's done helping he goes above and beyond what I ever expected him to do. He certainly makes my job easier & I can only hope I do the same for him. We certainly are a team and I am so thankful for that!
In other baby news, I also found out yesterday that my cousin & his wife are expecting their second child! Congrats Jason & Michelle!!!! They already have one absolutely adorable little girl Alyssa. I just love nephews (I don't have any nieces yet) & baby cousins--they are so fun to spoil!
