Baby shower and a birthday

The mother in law and I drove the hours it took for us to attend my DIL's baby shower ,as well as celebrating her Grandson's 26th birthday. I know, who woulda thought I would have a 26 year old son? Like where does the time fly anyway??

My DIL's sister put on quite the shower and invited all the ladies on their side. Let's just say, it's a lucky thing my son is introducing testosterone to that female dominate family with the expected twins. He's gonna need to keep the playing field even for his own survival.

 My lovely DIL sitting pretty before the guest arrive. What does the tag say on the tall package? Here let's take a closer look shall we?

 Kinda speaks for its self does it not?

Here is a cute idea her sister put together. Those babies in the jumper seats are an outfit stuffed with more baby clothes. 

You're probably wondering what a guy is doing at an all girl baby shower. Well, the soon to be uncle came by with the intention of dropping off his 'girl' friend and hanging with his brother while us women did our thing. Little did he know, his brother was at work.

Being the gentleman that he is, instead of bolting and leaving his girl with a bunch of women she didn't know, he stayed and partook.

We also had some tasty treats.

A couple of hours later, the shower ended and the birthday party started. The Birthday boy fired up the grill and cooked some exceptional burgers.

Then of course, there was cake and ice-cream.

Not to worry, we also treated him to a fiesta,....Mexican style.

Not on the same day of course. 

That's my MIL between me and the birthday boy. She was quite the chauffeur and did all the driving.

The young lady on the left is my son's friend from college. My Aunt also came up for the weekend, she's on my right in the back.

It was an action packed weekend. Besides all the party celebrations, me, the boys and the 'girl' friend visited Dr. Slaughters haunted house for some scary Halloween fun! I'm happy to report, I lived to tell about it.
