I was at one of the best organized baby showers today, when it comes to gift opening. Just had to pass it on. Ashley sat in the head chair and her two sister in laws were in charge of the gifts and writing down what she got. One would drag the gifts to her, ashley would open them throw all tissue, envelope or wrapping paper away, put the boxes and bags aside to save. Then her sister in law would take the gift and stack it aside nicely. All the while the other sister in law was writing the gifts down. I was mostly impressed with the throwing all envelopes, tissue and wrap away. I usually have a huge mess of those later. When she left she had all her gifts organized and ready to load the car, the cards were stacked and the gift bags were stacked nicely. Plus she had her list of gifts ready for thank yous. Genius!! Also Ashley looked gorgeous of course...but I didn't get a single picture :(. Can't wait to meet the little guy!! Good luck Ashley and Kris!
It might not be your way, but its our way and we love it!

Camdyn with Barbie and Timmy (what she calls them - lets just say that Camdyn is obsessed with Tim!! - When I was asking her who she wanted to invite to her friend party the first people on the list were Bobbi and Tim...I explained that I meant 5 year olds...she said she didnt care, she would disinvite whoever...as long as Timmy and Barbie came...so with her wishes we invited them - and they came - to the adult party that is!!)

Camdyns Friend Birthday Party
I actually think that this party went quite well. Considering we had 12 kids over all around age 5, they were all very good listeners and hilarious to watch. My favorite part of the day was when I passed out their cupcakes, Chase made sure that we prayed. He led the prayer, and I thought to myself...wow Camdyn already has some great friends :). Then when they sang happy birthday, they sang it the standard way - and then they sang it the "Gods Blessings" way. It was adorable. Most of these kids are from her pre-school, only two were not (Carlea is my friend Jens daughter, and Morgan is from Camdyns dance class from last year...her mom and I have become friends and our girls are friends now as well)
Here are all the kids...smiling.
