February, Mother Goose Tea Shower
These are some of the decorations at the tea shower. Notice the clock- it was standing still because, when taking tea, time stands still so you can relax and enjoy each others company!

My first Baby Shower was held at a dear friends home (The Queen of Tea Fancy Nancy B.) for a Mother Goose Tea. What a lovely afternoon with my friends and several pots of delicious tea (scones & tea sandwiches of course)!

I've never seen this before & I love the idea so much that I am filing it away for the future. The white flowers were sitting in blue colored water and gradually through the tea party they got darker and darker blue! They were beautiful!

I warned everyone before the tea officially got started that I was likely to cry my way through it- tears of joy!! And, unexpectedly Fancy Nancy's dear husband came in to take our group picture and said to me, "You are the Mother to be..." And, rather unexpectedly (for he had not been warned) I just bawled!! The ugly cry- - chin quivering and I was chocking back sobs of joy!! I never realized that tears of joy can look very similar to tears of sadness! LOL, anyways, poor Mr. B he was taken aback and started asking questions that I was not able to answer (hrough my bitting of my lip to attempt to stop crying) so my Bestie, Connie sitting right next to me, did not skip a beat and answered Mr. B's questions just as I would have! I was grateful for her words when I was unable to speak. And, I am sure Mr. B was grateful for Nascar because he quickly retreated to the race! :))

And, to continue my story, here I am, crying my way through the presents- - after 10 years of prayers and tears I am finally about to hold my little son. And, being able to look back and see God's plan for us is so awe inspiring I tear up for all the Blessings God has showered us with. PTL (Praise The Lord!, and the choir says- "Amen, Hallelujah")

Being a table full of scrap bookers- there wasn't a guest without a camera. This picture makes me smile. This Shower was heavily documented and I am itching to get it scrapbooked!

Thank you to all my dear friends who helped ring in the beginning of this new season of Motherhood with me! I raise my tea cup to you all! "Cheers"
