The 5th & Final Shower...BBQ at the Jacks

Our good friends, Joe & Danielle, threw us a BBQ & beer-type shower at their home in Georgetown a couple of weeks ago. One of our favorite things to do with the Jacks is cook dinner once or twice a month. We usually head out to their home on the outskirts of town, grill sausages and let the boys enjoy some beer while the girls talk about kids and being Stay at Home Moms together. We fondly refer to our nights as "Sausage Sundays" so I guess you could say this shower was one big version of our favorite way to spend an evening with friends.

Joe & Danielle made the party very laid-back with BBQ, beer, yard games, and an icecream bar (my personal favorite). The crowd consisted of friends and family our age, some with kids and some without. The Jacks were such gracious hosts and everyone raved about what a great job they did opening their home to the Qualley's loved ones.

Here are pictures of some of the people we love at the party.

My sister Erin & good friend from DFW, Anne.

And a quick picture with my brother and sister before they headed back up to DFW (with Russ photo-bombing us in the background.)

The next time we see people from our five different showers, we will be official parents of Barrett Ryan Qualley! Thank you all for being so encouraging as we begin this new chapter of life. You've spoiled our growing family with not just baby gifts, but with love and support! Barrett has no idea what a great network of friends and family he is being born into.

Now let's get this show on the road!
