Mandy's Baby Shower

Mandy was home for Mom and Dad's party on the 4th, and we had her baby shower on Sunday. She looks beautiful and we are all so very excited to meet her little girl in September!

The baby's room is done in Land of Nod's farm animal theme, so we went that direction for the party, and it was a surprise for Mandy.  We all made scrapbook pages for a memory book, and everyone had a card for a specific birthday. We each wrote her a letter to open on that birthday.  (Even Harper made a page!)

Levi, Shonn, Dad, and Beckett made an appearance (especially for the cupcakes and company). It was a very nice time.

 Instead of a guest book, people signed letters for the baby's room

 Aunt Julie and Grandma came just in time to help finish setting up!

 Harper hard at work, selecting the perfect stickers for her page.

 Becket wanted to sit by GG!

 Sisters, sisters, and GG!

Harper can't wait to have a little cousin to play with!

 All done!

 Saying goodbye is hard.

Making Sweets

This year making candy with Grandma was extra special because Beckett and Harper were both there!  Mom picked Grandma up Friday night and Saturday morning she came over bright and early.  We made dark and light fudge, pecan chew, caramel, divinity, and some cookie dough.  It was so much fun, and even more fun was seeing Grandma with the kids.  (The tasting part wasn't too bad, either...)
