Some of our friends from church wanted to have a small group of couples over for a baby gathering for baby Kerr. When word got out, the event quickly mushroomed and we ended up with quite the party. Chuck and Arlene were gracious and happy to accommodate the extra people; we appreciated their flexibility and willingness to host the party and open their home.
I made a blackberry pie for the occasion and got to use the pie box Dad made me for pie for the first time. I've used it before for cookies and such, but not for a pie.
Everyone brought something and we had a huge and delicious spread for lunch. We enjoyed visiting and eating a leisurely meal.
Then we opened presents and had dessert.

Everyone was generous and we received many great things for the baby, including this beautiful handmade knit blanket. It was a lot of fun to spend time together, and we felt blessed by everyone's excitement and generosity.
