Isaac sure drove his remote car well
Got up early and got ready to head to Holland for Shani's baby shower. It had snowed a little so the roads were a little slick, but not horrible. I picked up a mocha for Melissa and a French vanilla cappuccino for me and each a sour cream glazed doughnut. We ate on the way. We stopped for egg muffins at McDonald's drive through and then kept going. We were happy we had the gps. I was thankful Melissa went with me and made the trip so much fun plus helped me by looking at the gps map. We stopped at Edmore which is half way and went to the bathroom and picked out candy bars for later. When we left the gas station, I saw a snow plow coming down the road so I stayed a ways back from the road. Well when it went by, it threw so much ice and snow at the car it sounded like we got hit by something big. Melissa thought we got hit by a car but she didn't feel us move. She didn't she the plow coming. I thought maybe there would be a lot of dents in the side of the car, but praise God there weren't. We got to Holland about 1 3/4 hrs. early so drove and looked at the restaurant, then went to Goodwill, Sam's Club and then Burger King for pop and ice tea. We got to the restaurant about 5 minutes before the shower started. It was so nice seeing all of Vikki's family. Vikki told us to sit wherever we wanted so we picked a table with no one at it. A few minutes later, Ava and Claire said they wanted to sit at the table we were at so Shani, Rob, Shane, Kelly, another nice friend of Shani's (Angie) and the girls sat at our table with us. We had so much fun. They had a yummy salad, red potatoes, string beans and carrots, chicken and sirloin tips and mushrooms for dinner. It was very delicious. They had great rolls too. Melissa won a Tim Horton's Card and I won a Target gift card. Then I won the grand prize too. (a couple of pretty dishtowels, two bamboo cutting boards, two pretty turquoise spatula's that hang from the bowl so you don't get the cupboard messy)
Claire and Ava were so sweet and very good helpers passing out gifts, collecting candy dishes, helping Shani with her gifts when she opened them, and passing out cake. We visited for a while after we ate out cakes and then left for home. It was nice and sunny and the roads were clear all the way home. We stopped at Edmore again, same place, and used the bathroom. Got to Melissa's house and Bruce and the kids were just leaving to take Hailey to work on her school assignment. She got out of my car and went to get in the van because Bruce stopped in the road and Bruce took off a little ways...said he knew Melissa needed the steps ha ha) Went to Vikki's to get Mocha. Peyton and Isaac were tired...Peyton was sleeping on the couch. Isaac did perk up and use his remote car. Got home and called Kimmy to tell her about the shower and also let her know I found the lights she wanted for the boys at a great deal. Thanks, Melissa for going with me. You are so much fun to hang out with!
