Sisterly Surprise for Makai and I

Saturday my mom invited me to go out with her for the afternoon. Upon arriving to her home I was completely overwhelmed and taken back to find all the Peterson sister in laws present for a fun surprise. Apparently for months they have had the idea of doing something special for me and Makai. I had no idea because when I found out I was having another boy I told everyone I didn't want to have a shower or anything...I had everything I needed. However, I have to admit that this surprise was something I needed. I felt so loved was simply brought to tears.
The house looked so nice. It was set with my mom's china. When is the last time I ate on china?!! UM...I'm still thinking.

They thought of everything. There were cute 'It's a Boy' balloons and a couple sets of amazingly beautiful roses. There were even gifts wrapped in bags other than the bags they were bought in. Needless to say there was a definite girl presence in the house.
We started off eating an amazing meal. It began with minestrone soup, followed by a salad and mom's priceless rolls all followed by chicken parmesan that was cooked to perfection. I also enjoyed the sauteed mushrooms and cauliflower dish. I can honestly say I enjoyed each and every bite! Oh, and I can't forget the wonderful punch with ice cream, soda, and grape juice to top it all off. I think we were all kind of taken back not having to cut up food for our kids.

After lunch we all decorated onesies for baby Makai. My sister in laws and mom are very talented and the shirts turned out super cute.

Then I opened gifts. There were a few things I still needed, but now I honestly have everything I need for this little man. My mom really surprised me with a bassinet and car seat for Makai. Thanks girls for everything. The afternoon was so special and unforgettable. I will never forget this surprise. You gals are awesome.
p.s. thanks to all my brothers and my husband for watching the kids while I borrowed your wives. You have wonderful wives!:)
