Baby Shower Part III
My wonderful sister-n-law threw me a beautiful baby shower for Jackson Gregory. All my close girlfriends came from all over the US to join the celebration of this little boy. It was such a wonderful weekend. I enjoyed all the time spent with both family and friends. I am truly blessed with both a wonderful family and beautiful friends. Oh and these are my favorite two pics of the weekend. Charlie, the kitty, loved to be the center of attention and the towel is Jackson's but it is almost big enough for me...haha!!!
