My husband's aunt, and I guess technically my aunt, is one of the most generous people I have ever met. And boy can she throw a party!! She has such talent for parties. She offered to throw me a baby shower. So a couple of weekends ago we had a great time. Thank you Lynette for the party and all of the fun.

I do believe I am now ready for this baby. I have clothes and all the things I will need. Had a great time with friends and family who came to celebrate with us. Since I'm having a little boy, I thought we needed a little flair in the dessert department. Thanks to Pinterest I ran across this fun 'Sand' pudding. It tastes fantastic and looks just like sand. And what little boy doesn't like to play in the sand? You can find the recipe on my Pinterest page under my Desserts and Sweets board. Easy to make and so yummy.

We also had an excellent selection of other desserts. A to die for Eclair cake that my mother-in-law makes and this really yummy strawberry dessert that she made. What I loved about it is how the Strawberries looked like little hearts.

Back in April I made a blog post in tribute to my grandpa. I loved and adored my grandpa, he was my hero. Not only was my grandpa the best grandpa a girl could have, he also happened to be VERY talented when it came to crochet. He made baby afghans for each of his grandchildren. He then went further and made baby afghans for each of his great-grandchildren. As he got older and the dementia took hold, he could no longer make the afghans. However, in the last years that he was able to make the afghans, he made a huge stock pile to be given out. Deem has passed on now and the baby afghans have all been given away..... except for one. The very last baby afghan that my grandpa made and it happens to be for a boy. I cried, I just cried my eyes out. Heck, I'm crying now just thinking about it.

I have to say I love a good party and had such a great time. The theme was Mother Goose nursery rhymes. I only thought I knew my nursery rhymes well. We played this really fun matching game. The prize for guessing right was a candy bar. For instance one of the matches was water breaking and the candy to go with it was "Gushers". We ate one of my favorite salads, BBQ chicken, had excellent desserts, and the decorations were just lovely.
