Alyssa's Shower

 It was finally not too hot outside

to go out in the yard during the day.

We had fun using the fence that

Jim's aunts gave us.

 Precious

 Yay, daddy came home to play

with Seamus.

 We went to Philadelphia to visit

Aunt Maria and Pano. A nice surprise

was seeing Uncle Jay. He had to take

an 8 hour test. Seamus was happy to see him.

 Crazy spider that builds a web

every night on our deck.

Maybe it is a nice spider like Charlotte.

 Cookies I made for Alyssa's shower.

 Mom Donovan did such a

a great job putting together this shower.

She bought awesome Fall decorations

and made great food!

The card says "Falling in Love."

 Mom made pierogi casserole since

Alyssa loves pierogies.

 I was sad I didn't get a chance to try

the awesome cookie dough cake but it looked great.

I had some of Elizabeth's awesome cake balls.

She made those!

 Some candid shots.
