If we haven't mentioned here yet, Aunt Sandy is getting married! Just 2 months to go and we celebrated accordingly this week with bridal showers via the work folks as well as her local buddies.
Shower #1 was back on Wednesday and Jay's team set up a really nice party at Martin's (our favorite restaurant!)
 |
| Will and James acting like the awesome, calm, older brothers that they are, happily playing on LeapPads and iPhones for the duration of the 3 hour event. They win in the "ease of supervising preschoolers" department. |
 |
| Cora made sure to get into the laps or arms of at least half the party attendees, LeapPad or not. She always wants to be the center of attention lately (who would have thought she'd ever be like this, way back when she was a super shy 18-month-old afraid of everyone except her mama and daddy?) She of course needed a few minutes with Aunt Sandy! |
 |
| Lauren found the stack of kid games and James tried to show her how to play the penguin game. |
 |
| Half the crowd at present opening time! |
 |
| Barrett and Sandy in front of the crowd |
 |
| A very cool set of mugs handmade by a local artist |
 |
| There's nothing better than a 4-year-old bellied-up to the bar, eh? Don't worry, it was a private party so there were no regular restaurant goers to judge us. She happily colored a few of the coasters as we shut down the party at 7:45pm... |
 |
| Lauren took a turn at the bar too. |
Shower #2 was hosted by Ned and Mary Beth, and Lauchlin and Olivia. The kids had an absolute blast playing with their buddies and hanging out in David's room most of the afternoon/evening.
 |
| Teeter-tottering with David |
 |
| Adding Lauren and Will and little Houston to the mix |
 |
| Getting a lesson in sea creature names from David |
 |
| Sweet little Mary Claire stole everyone's hearts, as usual |
 |
| As soon as she noticed my camera, she turned a series of amazing grins my way. This girl knows she's adorable! |
 |
| Yup, everybody's favorite kid is MC! |
 |
| Lauren was so jealous of Christina holding MC! She retreated to the couch and Cora followed, but was of course uncooperative in my attempt at a cute girl photo... Thanks for that Baby Doll. P.S. This is the face I'm going to blow up and show at the rehearsal dinner of your wedding someday, just so you know... |
Congratulations Sandy and Barrett! We can't wait until the big day!!
