So here is the big post about the baby shower...I have been slacking a bit because my hands are a little sore from typing at work...but I know I must post now before this is lost forever!
My baby shower, thrown by my mother, mother in law and best friend Shannon was Sunday 9/28...We decided it would be best just to have it at our house so everyone could see the baby's room and the house and we wouldnt have to cart all the gifts home! I think it was a little more work for me preparing the house, but I'm very glad that we did it that way!
Shannon and I got up early and started getting things ready, by the time 12 noon came Carrie, Nicole and Elisa all showed up and got all the food out and everything was really coming together! Everyone started to arrive and we dug right into the food and treats! Rhonda (Kennie's cousin) made cupcakes, 1/2 moon cookies, chocolate covered strawberries...everything was awesome!
The afternoon consisted of pretty much gift opening and spending time with everyone! As it usually goes at big parties, you never get to spend time with each person like you would like. The day flies and before you know it, everyone is leaving! But I was glad to see everyone for even a few minutes that we have not seen in awhile! ....We were even contenplating the "how big is the belly" game, but by the time we got done with presents everyone was very tired and ready to wrap up the day!
We received some awesome gifts! We are almost totally prepared for this baby to arrive! Everyone truly thought of every different thing to give us, and I love all the hand made blankets and outfits! I was totally overwhelmed when everyone left. I couldnt believe how blessed Kennie and I and this new baby are! I cant thank everyone enough for there generousity and everyone who helped out that day! It was absoulty perfect!
Now its time to get everything put away!
