In mid-March, Shannon’s good friend, Pam, hosted a baby shower for Shannon. Pam plotted with Karen West (Ray’s Mom) and I for us to stage a surprise appearance for the shower. Pam’s husband, Dean, picked Karen and I up and took us to a nice hotel near Shannon’s house, and went to dinner with us at Shannon’s favorite restaurant. Karen and I shared a room and had our own pajama party, giggling with anticipate about the surprise. When Shannon arrived and greeted the guests, Karen and I were hiding in the laundry room until Pam lured Shannon to the gift table nearby. We popped out and Shannon was so surprised, then she got all teary with emotion. We had a lovely time at the shower and Pam was a wonderful hostess. It was a very quick trip, as I was headed back home the next day, but we’ll both be back after Baby West is born for the first couple of weeks of parenthood for our kids. Can’t wait!!!

Great write-up and photos! Must have been a great comera person (hahahaha). However, I think the PJ Party giggling was more about what we consumed.
Love 2 ya
Karen - the other mother
Wow! That looks like an incredible fun and relaxing shower! I love the blanket she is holding..it looks like it will match the nursery perfect! (she sent me a few pictures of the paint job they did)). She looks so happy and beautiful!
Ok..so I'm not sure how to edit my comment, so I am going to do it this way. I meant to say incredibly, not incredible. I'm afraid if I don't correct myself, Tony will give me crap forever 8P
Karen, you are so right about what we were drinking ;-)
Shea, Shannon's grandma actually made the quilt and free-handed the pattern for the fish, I believe. She loves quilting. If it looks anything like Shannon's baby blanket, it will soon be nasty from being drug around and full of holes from teething!
Wow. That looks like it was a wonderful time. How great that Muriel and Karen could surprise Shannon. I am super jealous about how great she looks! You would not know she was pregnant except from the front.
