Baby Shower - Ryder Cole Harris

Our grandson, Ryder Cole Harris, is soon to arrive in August. We are really excited! There were so many people at the shower. It is comforting to know Alisha, Eric, and Ryder will be surrounded by many people that love them and have offered to babysit...don't forget all those promises to keep Ryder, especially when you are so tired your running into the walls!
We were all able to thread a bead onto a necklace with a blessing or thought attached to each bead. Paul got teary eyed when he talked about Alisha and Eric becoming parents. We think it was tears of joy and not concern since he did say they would make great parents! As you can see from the picture, Amanda thought it was quiet funny!
Anthony tried out all the toys at Great Grandma's house (Alisha's grandmother) to make sure they were suitable for Ryder. They all passed the test, especially the firetruck that ran a siren almost the whole time the gifts were opened! We brought Ryder a little pony that makes noises and swings it's tail. It looked very similar to his great grandma's real horses out in the field. We hope he will find many hours of enjoyment on his pony!
The food was really good! Anthony particularly liked the strawberries and kept going back for more!
