Family Shower & Happy Birthday Dad

My sister-in-law Heather hosted a beautiful shower on Sunday. It was a beautiful day and it was wonderful to see everyone. Sarah got to meet a lot more of her family who has been so excited and anxious to meet her. The gifts were extremely generous and perfect for Sarah.

Sarah helped unwrap them and started playing with the toys immediately - she has been poring over them a number of time today and I know she will enjoy all of them. Heather had a yummy spread of sandwiches and a beautiful cake. Sarah couldn't have been better. She stuck to Mommy pretty close at first and was just wanting to take everything in but as the presents were unwrapped she relaxed more and eventually my niece Rachael was able to convince her to go with her and play with some of the toys outside so Mommy could visit with some of the guests. Wes was working nights so he stopped by on his way to the station and to his surprise Sarah wasn`t there - she was down the street with her cousins, Rachael, Liam and Gavin having a grand òl time in Gavin`s old car. It was also my Dad`s birthday so my family stayed after the shower to have a birthday dinner for Dad and Sarah continued to be a perfect little angle. Daddy had managed to get her down for an early nap in the morning as we knew it would be a long day for her and we were worried that she could get overtired by dinner time. Auntie Heather made sure Sarah had her favourite dinner - princess pasta and Grandma fed her her dinner, then she had a big bowl of watermelon. Auntie Heather was packing up some of the extra food and was putting away the grapes - Rachael had given her some and she loved them - so Heather offered her some more. So she wouldn`t choke on them, Auntie Heather was biting them in half and giving Sarah the other half - no sooner did Heather hand her the grape - she was pointing for Heather to get her another one - poor Heather had a hard time keeping up but she managed. All the guys loaded up the presents in the car for me as Wes by this time was at work and Greg, Janice, Rachael and Liam stopped by on their way home and brought everything into the house for me. It was a wonderful day and Thanks again to Heather for hosting such a wonderful shower for Sarah.
