Baby Shower

My baby shower was scheduled for January 30th.

The weatherman predicted a winter storm to come in on Friday. Of course, we held out hope that the weatherman would be wrong!
Here is what my front yard looked like Saturday morning.

So we decided to move the shower to Sunday, hoping some of the snow and ice on the roads would melt.

Some of it did melt, but not much. A huge Thank You to all my friends who braved the weather and ventured out! I was quite sad that my mom, grandmother, and aunt couldn't make it up from Memphis. I managed to eat their share of the chocolate fountain, though.


Here is one of the hostess and I outside her house.

All the hostess (minus a few who couldn't make it) and I back inside where it was warm!

My sissy and I. Or Uncle Anna as Bates will call her!
Yeah for gifts!
Mrs. Pam got Bates the cutest and softest rabbit with his name on the ear, but Mr. Barry wanted to get him a gift too, and of course, he got Bates a football!

The shower was a blast. I have the greatest girlfriends a girl could ask for! Bates is truly a spoiled little boy and we are one blessed family!
Bates, buddy, there are lots of girls who can't wait to get their hands (and kisses) on you!
