Baby Brayden's First Party

Yesterday was one of those rare occasions when Roseland Plantation was closed for the day. We had a baby shower for Christina and Dale’s baby, Brayden, in the Ballroom. The Ballroom was decked out with balloons, flowers, diaper wreaths, and a diaper cake. Yes, a cake made out of diapers!


There was lots of good food, drinks, and cake. Guests came from as far away as Houston to enjoy the celebration. It was a terrific, memorable family gathering. Baby Brayden received many wonderful gifts, so it looks like he’s well stocked with the essentials when he arrives. Everyone is waiting eagerly with anticipation for his arrival.

The weather started out rainy, but we saw a rainbow at the end of the party. I’m sure that bodes well for Brayden. Once the children had their fill of food and cake, they headed outdoors to run and play. In the meantime, the adults played games like baby bingo and baby scrabble indoors. One of the most fun games was “wrap the couple in toilet paper.”

I’ve not been to a baby shower before because it used to be mostly a “girls only” event. However, it seems the times they are a-changing because this was a coed event. And the guys actually enjoyed themselves!

God bless,

Steve
