Too bad I woke up awhile ago! 😀
We had Maggie’s “baby shower” dinner yesterday! So many people were able to come! Maggie’s Great-Grandpa and Gran came, Grammy and Poppy and Jennifer, my parents hosted, her Great-Grandma D. and Great-Uncle Kevin came, and all the Johnston side of the family too! (That’s eight more people including the kids!) Got some great pictures, although not everybody got in them. During the party, we had the family videos playing from when Anna was born through now… transferring to DVD. Turned out to be kinda fun to have on too.
Here is Great-Grandma D. holding her sixth great-grandchild! (Did I count right?)
They were so cute! I want to be as cute as my Grandma when I am a great-grandma. Thank you Nancy and Melissa and family for the Baby Gap gift card that bought Maggie’s dress in this picture!
Anna had a bit of a rough spot in the middle of the day because she missed her nap. After lots of love and cuddles, she finally melted down and we put her down for a nap. After mommy layed down with her, she fell asleep for a few minutes which rescued the rest of the afternoon. Pretty cute huh:
Here’s Anna and Maggie’s cousin Jackson (6 months) and second cousin Adelie (9 months):
It’s too bad this picture turned out blurry – the picture-taking was extreme:
Here is the next generation! (Even Ginger got in the picture) You have four girls in a family (well, we are missing Lynsay and her family!) and then they get married…. and then the kids begin to come along…. the couch is no longer big enough!
One more:
Aunt Jennifer holding Maggie the first time! (I really ought to call her Master Jennifer instead… or Queen Jennifer, Master of English Literature as her mom prefers)
“Aunt” Sande brought some dress-up for Anna! Here she is admiring the sparkly jacket in the mirror… and the hat the Great-Grandma D. made that was too big for Maggie. 🙂
I think she’s the 7th! Mercedes, Adria, Anna, Olivia, Adalie, and Jackson make 6! 🙂 Great time seeing you yesterday! Thanks for the pics 🙂
Wow. Jackson will be so comfortable around females!
The family photo is pretty darn color coordinated. Nicely done!
Anna’s sparkly jacket is AMAZING. That one is not to be taken lightly.
Very cute & very fun. I don’t think we can make it over this trip up so this means I have to wait till DECEMBER to see Maggie- she’ll be practically grown and out of the house by then! Sheesh.
White skin, brown hair and blue jeans… not too hard to coordinate even though we weren’t trying. 😉 The sparkly jacket has been confiscated because she kept pulling the little gold things off even after I told her not to. Sad. You can see Maggie in pictures just like I’ll get to see Calvin…. I wonder when that little man will make his grand entrance? The due date is approaching…… woo hoo!
