Baby Z's shower

In Mid December I got to help throw a shower for my best friend Kelsey and her baby "Baby Z"  Kelsey long time friend Ann and I threw her a shower in Manhattan while Ann was home from California.

 

We had a very nice time and it was nice to see the baby bump :)  Can't wait to meet the beautiful little.......  Girl (that is my guess, but I'm not very good at guessing these things)

 

Ann, Kelsey and I

The diaper cake and yummy snacks

It is Beautiful and fits Kelsey to a tee.


Congrats Kels and Marshal - we can not wait to meet the baby

Kampling Christmas 12

We had my families Christmas the Sunday before Christmas this year.  While my dad is still working night Christmas Eve doesn't really work for us.  We had a nice day/evening.  We visited, played games and ate WAY to much food.

 

Just an explanation for previous and future posts.  Blogger has created a new way to import and caption pictures which I like a lot, but for some reason they are appearing on my page in a weird order some times.  If any blogger out there reading this knows a solution I'm all ears.

Blake made Jaren a cape.  Jaren and Landries generation draws names and they have to make their name draw something.  Blake got to sew this year and thought it was pretty cool.  Jaren is not complaining
