Not that the baby didn’t show up!
Lexi was there — a very beautiful 8 week old. Sleeping and waking just to smile and be perky. Exactly what a new mom treasures and guests adore!
The idea was just to come over and see the parents (Cliff and Tanis) and enjoy the baby. Of course, in my ignorance of etiquette, I’m thinking that’s all we will do. But, there was a need for a card. And a small gift for the baby. And a card for the grandparents. Along with a small gift.
Of course, the hostess had prepared great mincemeat cake, Naniamo bars, celery sticks and radishes, brownies, and many other delectable treats that satisfied the palate. And we sat in groups and talked. Things about weather, kids, relationships and church.
When we were done, we left — with that “I’m glad I came” feeling. We could have stayed longer. But in our leaving we look forward to meeting once again.
Now that’s a party!
