Sarah's Baby Shower

Sarah and Bergs are expecting their first child and of course, we the family are very, very excited. Yesterday, Sharyn arranged the most amazing baby shower for her sister, to surround Sarah and the Bump with family and friends. What a wonderful afternoon of fun, laughter, eating, drinking and generally, making merry.

An invitation to family and friends to welcome Baby Quintal Bergagnin

...and in real life!

A Wishing Well made by Grandpa John, specially for the special event

Bear and Rabbit were there joining in the fun. Why not? They were featured on the invitation.

Sarah and Sharyn. Both should be pleased with a wonderful day I think. Sarah for having it done for her and Sharyn for doing it. It was a wonderful afternoon girls and we all enjoyed it. Thank you. Can't wait to meet you Bump!
