Babies and Families!

Yesterday we had a baby shower for Liz and her soon-to-be-born baby boy! Angie was kind enough to let us have it at her house. Terri pitched in by making some great cookies and helped us early on by creating the invitations. Mom made sure we had something to drink. Lindsie, with the help of Ashlee, pitched in with some great tarts, cream puffs and parfaits. And Liz even helped out a bunch by making some bruschetta with tomatoes, pumpkin dip with apples and gingersnaps, tortilla wraps, and spiced nuts!
We had food for an army! Liz got a lot of great gifts and we all had a good time visiting with each other. Angie's boys did a super job of eating food so we didn't have as many leftovers. My boys helped polish off more of the food since they had worked up an appetite playing Madden on the X-box while we were all at the shower! All-in-all it was a great day. We are so excited to get this first little grandbaby here on earth. We just ask Liz to wait until we get back from our cruise!

It was a fun shower. We can't wait for little Troy. It will be fun to share grandparenting experiences with you. Just let me tell you.....it is the BEST!!

I'm sad I missed it! It will be nice when we live back home so that we don't have to miss out on all of the fun family functions!

We're so excited for Troy to come as well. It was fun to be with everyone (especially since my kids weren't there!).

What a life!
