Funny how the first grandchild usually selects the title, unless family tradition dictates something else. I definitely recommend diaper raffles--they really make a dent in the expense of diapering that baby! (Great for a new mom at the office, too. A restaurant gift card makes a great raffle prize.)Jenny Hart Borenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06587246633354905840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-89093232929743086272013-10-29T12:52:43.409-04:002013-10-29T12:52:43.409-04:00I love the color combination for the baby shower. ...I love the color combination for the baby shower.

We, too, are expecting a grandson in December, but we went with more of a pirate theme (daddy is a sailor), with some nautical thrown in for the shower for my beautiful dil Sarah.

Had to pause and reassure myself I'm not the crypt keeper before finishing this. Anyway, we do entertain a lot. My mom always asks me why everything looks so good on my blog and then we make them eat off paper plates, lol. We have people over almost every weekend, especially since our pool was put in.
