We played a game “Who Am I” in which the guests wrote down a memory of jamie, and signed the back of the card. Jamie then read the card and tried to figure out who wrote what. It was a great way for Jamie to reminisce and introduce our family and friends to Andy’s family. It also let our family and friends get to know Andy’s family a little.

If you look closely you can see that I included pictures of Andy and Jamie on the 3rd birthdays.

I put together a photo book with many of Jamie and Andy’s engagement photos.

Me and my baby girl!

Jamie’s shower was a lot of fun and very successful, but not without the help of, Cousins Terry, Marybeth, and my sister Jo!  Thank you ladies, I appreciate all of your help more than you know.  Because Jo was so helpful, it allowed me to concentrate on the things I needed to do. Thank YOU!

More to come later this week about some of the decorations.

5 weeks till the big day!

Hey girly! It looked so pretty and that cake was beautiful! I absolutely adore the little nests with the eggs on the table, oh so cute! Your picture holder stands turned out great and were the perfect touch to the whole thing. Jamie is just glowing and you all look so happy! Please tell Jamie I said congratulations on the big day that's coming up and congrats to you on getting a new son!

OH Gail, it looks like was a wonderful day! Everything was simply lovely!!! It just hit me at the beginning of the post how quickly time has flown by.... has it really been a year since I met you at the Goodwill shop and hop? Can April already be upon us? And to think the wedding will be in just a few short weeks? 5 weeks? How is that possible?!? Jamie is absolutely radiant! I am so excited for the both of you! Congratulations!
