We were all set to get together for our monthly MOPS Care Group Girls' Night. Melissa had invited us over to her house and plans were set! I had tutoring that evening so I phoned ahead to say I'd be a little late, so it was no surprise to me that when I got there, everyone's cars were parked and the fun had already started inside with out me...
Melissa answered the door and in the entry way, a bunch of ladybug balloons caught my attention (since we're doing a ladybug nursery, I notice them EVERYWHERE). I commented, "Oh I love those ladybug balloons!!!" and Melissa just smiled and said, "Thanks!" I turned the corner and there were some of my nearest and dearest girlfriends all gathered in the kitchen, staring at me! Lauren Baughman had her camera out and started snapping pictures...It took more than a second for me to scan the room and see MORE ladybug decorations, presents, and "extra" friends that weren't "invited" to the originally planned "care group GNO". My response was, "What's goin' on here? Is this for me?" Giggles ensued and the girls said, "surprise!" My face turned bright red and I was just tickled to death!!!
It was such a fun evening of sharing pregnancy/birthing stories, laughing, eating, being together, eating some more, and opening presents! The ladies spoiled me rotten and I'm forever grateful for their generosity and thoughtfulness! Addison is set with everything she needs or could want! I have the most tremendous friends in all the world, and just was overwhelmed (and yes I cried...several times) at how blessed I felt.
"What is going on here?"..."Is this for ME?"
There were ladybug decorations as soon as you came in the door!!! Everything was just so sweet and perfect!!!
The icky-dirty-diaper-melted-candy bar-game :) Hysterical!
Among the delicious treats were "Cami Cakes". They are a little slice of Heaven! My friends knew just what I'd like :o)
Just to show some of the precious items we were spoiled with...
New clothes for Addison from the Kuder family and a new "Ta-Ta Topper" handmade especially for me by Mrs. Christine Fealy! McKenna and Addison also got matching outfits that were to die for!!!
Bass Pro Onesie (for Dave) from The Baughmans, and an insanely cute ladybug frame to match the nursery made by sweet Melissa Dempsey!
