Bonnie's Baby Shower

4 out of nine of us are pregnant... No not Aunt Pearl!



Today we hosted a baby shower for Bonnie. The guests included Aunt Elaine, Jana, Aunt Joy, LorAnn, Kimberlee, Aunt Pearl, Holly, and Bonnie. Though not in attendance at the shower gifts were sent from Julia and Barclay, David & Kirsten, Carla, and Linda & Rex.

We started a "Time Capsule" for Zoe with letters from everyone in attendance. Bonnie and Sam will compile items (newspaper from the day Zoe is born, photos, etc.) for the time capsule and Zoe will open it when she is 8 or 10 years old (Bonnie is still deciding).

We each took a turn asking Bonnie questions about her experience being pregnant and other questions about motherhood. That was fun and we had some good laughs and good conversation. We had soup, salad, and dessert for lunch. After opening gifts we said our goodbyes and headed home.

Bonnie received some beautiful gifts and practical gifts too. We added up the approximate cost of the diapers she was given and it was over $100 worth of diapers.

Thanks so much to everyone who came!
