Drive-By Baby Sprinkle for Bennett

Last week, I helped host my very first drive-by baby sprinkle!
I'm getting another nephew and I couldn't be more excited! 

Due to COVID-19, we decided to make this a drive-by celebration...little did we know, a monsoon would start just 20 minutes before it started (really, a legitimate thunderstorm warning)! Nonetheless, it was a fun evening and it was great seeing some faces that we haven't seen in 3+ months! 
I'm so glad someone snapped this picture. I had just walked to someone's car and was walking between tents and it was literally like someone poured a bucket of water on my head! LOL! All you can do is laugh. 
We had cute decor that was blowing away in the wind & getting soaked with the sideways rain but thankfully, our sign made it through and we were able to snap a few pictures. 
My best little buddy was having the time of her life. 
She's an excited big sister!

Do y'all think she was tired of being told to smile? HA! That face makes me smile & laugh. 



Sweet Mrs. Nancy made a quilt for Ann Hatten when she was born, made one for James, and now, made one for Bennett. AND--she made Ann Hatten the sweet little quilt for her baby dolls with pieces from each of the quilts she has made thus far--what a sweet treasure!


This one makes me laugh--soaked from running gifts from the cars to the garage, passing out treats, and visiting. 

This girl loves her a balloon.
Mama Carol modeling with the sign that we just knew was going to run from the rain soaking it. 
Thankfully, at this point, the rain had let up and we were able to laugh about it. We had to take a moment to recreate what all we were having to do--tie tents together, cover our clothes with rain jackets, take one of our decorative tables to the large because too much was blowing off of it, hold down the tents, secure the chalkboard, you name it. 
And let's end with a picture of 100 mini homemade pound cakes, just in case you were wondering what that looked like. Oh, and they were TASSSSSTY. Thanks, Jason :)

Bennett, we CAN'T WAIT to meet you, sweet little fella.
We love you already and we are thankful for the opportunity to honor your Mom and celebrate you!
