Week 32 and Shower #2

On Saturday I had baby shower number 2! My mom, my Aunt Sandy, and Mrs. Wittig hosted and put the shower together. They did a wonderful job. Everything was decorated so cute! Baby Bretz is going to be one spoiled child. We got SO many gifts from our generous family and friends. The shower was such a great time and I have enjoyed looking at all the gifts again today and sorting through them. Thank you to everyone who came to the shower!!!

Labor Day Breakfast

It has been a Bretz tradition for over 30 years to have breakfast on Labor Day at Lake Springfield. The older Bretz children get out to lake early in the morning to start preparing for the breakfast. They make eggs, pancakes, hash browns, toast, and monkey bread to feed over 40 people. This year everyone arrived around nine and we all ate breakfast together. This year was really chilly, so a lot of us were bundled up and enjoying each others company. It is always something that we look forward to every Labor Day.

Week 30

Barb (Matt's Mom) had a shower for us in Springfield this past weekend. The shower had a theme of ABC's and orange/yellow/green. The shower turned out sooo cute! We had lunch, played some games, and opened presents. We got a lot of nice gifts for Baby Bretz. Also, everyone bought a book and wrote a special message in it to Baby Bretz. It was fun to read all of the messages and look at the gifts again last night. I felt like it was Christmas in September. Everyone was very generous and we are lucky to have such giving family and friends.
