This past weekend we made the journey to Waco on Saturday morning so I could help host a shower with my Mom for, her friend Elaine's daughter, Kayla. I have known Kayla since before she was born, granted I was probably only 6 years old but just the same I have remembered watching her grow over the years. She is now entering a new chapter of her life and marrying her true love in August so this past Saturday was a chance to celebrate that. My Mom worked so hard making sure everything was perfect. My only job before the shower was to arrive by noon with the girls ready to attend the shower too. Here is where the big problem came in. Cary and I were about an hour from home when my Mom called to see where we were so she could guess the time of our arrival. After hanging up the phone I turned to Cary and said, "Did you get the girls hang-up clothes?" (The ones I stayed up late ironing.) I am sure you can guess the answer...a big "No". I immediately went into panick mode. We could not turn around because then I would be late for the shower and I was not going to show up at my Mom's with all she had on her plate and tell her the girls had no clothes for the weekend, just pajamas and hairbows. After some silence I told Cary to just go straight to the mall and we would find the girls two matching outfits at Gymboree for the weekend. Luckily, we got to Waco an hour earlier than expected, the lady at Gymboree was very helpful and happy to see us, and we made it in plenty of time to help with some finishing touches before all the guests arrived. I can laugh now but definitely was not laughing then:)
Later that evening after the shower we celebrated Campbell's Birthday. My Mom got her the cutest Princess cake so of course Campbell was thrilled. She loved blowing out the candles and having "Happy Birthday" sung to her.
She really had fun opening her presents from Papa & Nana, Great PaPaw, Uncle Don & Aunt Trudy, Duncan, and GG. We pretty much headed home with anything she could possibly want to ride outside as well as a camera of her own so that she can stop using Kaylee's all the time. Kaylee even managed to get a few surprises too. I cannot wait to post pictures of the girls in their bicycle helments...too cute. Thank you to everyone for all of the wonderful presents for the girls, they are already being put to good use. I have to say that the hands down favorite for the girls so far are the double strollers for their dolls. I pray they live close enough and are best friends one day and can walk their real babies around like this. Too fun!
On Sunday we celebrated Father's Day with three of my favorite men in the world ( my husband, Dad, and Papaw). Each of these men play such an important role in my life as well as in the life of my girls. I do not know how I got to be so blessed with such amazing examples of unconditional love, faith, honesty, and servants for the Lord and those around them. I thank my God for them each and every day. Each of them have helped make me who I am and give me wonderful support during all the many journeys of my life. Thank you! I love you all so much!
Also a Big Thanks to my wonderful Mom who worked so hard to make the weekend perfect for everyone, I love you!
