Two weekends ago we ventured up to Pittsburgh for a lovely weekend of all kinds of fun! Too often we find ourselves rushing through the weekend with not enough time to spend with everyone up there so D and I both took time off from work so that we could really kick back and enjoy ourselves.
The biggest thing of the weekend was D's sister (Aunt H to Baby A) baby shower!!!! She is expecting a little baby boy at the beginning of April and everyone is all excited to make his acquaintance. The shower was not a surprise and everyone had a wonderful (and delicious!) time at the AYCE Mongolian buffet.
Grammy and Grandpap outdid themselves AGAIN by creating the most adorable theme of all things fish related...
Can you believe the attention to detail??? It was all a big hit with the guests and I continue to believe that Grammy and Grandpap could go into business for themselves doing some kind of specialty party planning!
Anyway, if there was anything that could top all of the aforementioned, it was the great time that we had watching Aunt H make her way through the fun, adorable, and clever gifts that she got...
Aunt H was seriously excited to get the gift from her best friend K. She actually already knew what it was and the story of how it ended up being like that was quite entertaining! If that's not the NICEST diaper bag you have ever seen than I don't know what is!
And there were tons and TONS of baby clothes but one of Aunt H's friend was so clever and pinned them all onto a clothes with real clothese pins! So adorable!!! I might just have to steal this idea for the next shower that I go to!
The grand finale gifts were from Grammy and Grandpap. Aunt H could barely contain herself when she opened it and saw what it was.
Can you guess what it is??? Take a guess and then scroll down for the big reveal...

IT's a BABY-sized water safety vest!!! And BOY was it snazzy!!! Baby D is going to look sharp out there in the boat come time for fly fishing season!
Aunt H and Uncle J do a lot of outdoorsy stuff so Grammy and Grandpap found the PERFECT sized tent for Baby D. It even had it's own blow up mattress!!! Talk about five star wilderness accomodations!
And then it was finally time to cut into the cake which was so bittersweet because of how beautiful it looked but it tasted SO delicious! I can see why Aunt H enjoyed getting it cut and served up! One of her in-laws made it for her and Aunt H KNEW that we were all in for something yummy because she had already experienced a sampling of the confections at her weddings a couple of years back!
I love this photo of Aunt H and Grammy. You can SO tell that they are mother and daughter. Just look at how they are standing! I absolutely did NOT pose them like this!
Everyone had such a terrific time. Toward the end, the men showed up and got in on some of the pictures. Who says ladies are the only ones who can enjoy a baby shower? Grandpap was all about stealing Baby A away from all of the ladies.
