Britney SpearsBritney Spears returned to her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana for the first time in over a year for little sister Jamie Lynn Spears‘ baby shower on Saturday.

Around 30 guests attended the celebration at the family’s Serenity mansion and an inside source told People magazine: “Jamie Lynn opened every gift. We all sat in a circle and she opened gifts and thanked every person. It was just a good old fashioned baby shower.”

Britney travelled across country on Friday with dad Jamie Spears in tow as required by the current conservatorship agreement. Jamie stayed away from the women-only shower but mum Lynne Spears was on hand to help out.

The source added that aside from the sheriff’s deputies posted at the gate of the property to keep away uninvited guests and paparazzi circling in helicopters: “it was a normal shower. A wonderful, sweet occasion.”

Jamie Lynn is said to be expecting a baby girl late next month.
