Gabby's Welcome Home Shower






A big thank you to Heather who organized the shower and enlisted the following to help throw Gabby a Welcome Home Shower for family and friends in the Bass Lake, Fresno, and Monterey Areas. The shower was held at Grandmother's house in Bass Lake. It's actually their home which is a huge Cabin near the lake. The weather was amazing! 73 degress F. Wow, beautiful. Many folks had to send their regrets last minute as they woke up with illnesses. Nothing too serious but enough to stay away from a baby who will have surgery in two weeks! Heather asked for help and she got it! She asked Grandmother to use her home, Auntie Kimmi for invites and decorations, Auntie Patricia, Auntie Bene, and Auntie Kelly all helped too with food and costs of such a lovely event! The theme was Asian ans we had candies, nuts, and snacks from every Asian country represented. Even candy wrapped in rice paper(Auntie Heather's favorite!hehehehe) What a wonderful time and so many traveled from so far away to welcome Gabby. She is truly loved and we are all very well supported! Cousin Sofia helped too, it was nice to have so many offer so much for our little Gabby! Hannah and daddy had to stay at home. Hannah had many things to do for the same week end and daddy made sure she got to all of them. He also was a nurse to our dear dog Amos. I will explain in next post dedicated to him!! Gabby was flooded with gifts and love and Auntie Kelly had a great idea to give Gabby a scrapbook and camera to have evreyone take a pciture with her and then sign a special page in her scrapbook where the photo will go! What a wonderful idea and now Gabby will have this forever and know that she has been loved formt he start!!!! She is a full memer of our entire family and friends and we couldn't be happier! Thank you, thank you!!!! May God lift each of you today as you read this and may He fill you with His peace and joy!! Blessings, Hayley
