This is Jessica Kottcamp--excited mother-to-be........
And this is her step-mother, Cynthia--who is one of the hostesses for a wonderful shower for the soon-to-be-arriving baby boy!
Aunt Alice arrives....How do you wrap a gift for a precious new baby boy? In a bag decorated with dogs sitting around a table smoking and playing cards! Hmmm how many cardinal sins can one bag depict?

These cuties greeted guests at the door...
And gracious friends like Bobbie.....
She's sooo cute.....
That her cousin just HAD to hold her on her lap!
This is John's sister....

All the guests are enjoying the lovely patio....
Cynthia and co-hostess Lori pose with some of their guests....
Menders approves of the punch....
The other gracious hostess--Miss Angie!

ALICE LISTENS! This is a rare and significant photo!

Cynthia is pretty good with this baby holding stuff.....
OOps, repeat!--but this quiet talking did go on for quite a long period of time....
This is a beauty!
OOps repeat!--but this posing also did go on for a good period of time....

Feedle Dee and Feedle Dum......

Sisi looking quite sharp....
Femme pensive.....
Do you just want to hug these two?
The soon-to-be new parents invite the guests to partake of the eats....
It was a delicious spread....

And the "cake" in the center was really a clever concoction of baby gifts....
Dig in, ladies.........
Everything was delicious.....
Then it's time to open presents--with some VERY INTERESTED helpers.....
And a good time was had by all!!!
