(If you read the baby blog I apologize that this is pretty much a duplicate post) 🙂
This weekend my family threw me the best baby shower ever! I really couldn’t thank them all enough. The decorations, the food, the desserts, everything was wonderful. I wish i could show everything but I have to pick and choose a few photos or this post would be way too long! 🙂 I still have quite a few photos though!
First off, the dessert table – Aimee made the awesome diaper cake (closer picture coming up), Suzanne and Becca stayed up late making the cupcakes, the cake and the extra sheet cake (closeups coming), as well as the cookies which you’ll see down below. Erica made the pumpkin cheesecake and brownies. And of course the baby shower sign – Aimee made that and it really worked out great!
I’m actually still eating cupcakes (a few a day) and yes I am sharing with Ryan – although grudgingly 🙂 I just make sure I eat breakfast first, then a cupcake, then lunch, then a cupcake etc. What can I say – Itty likes cake!
So after mingling and a quick game of name as many baby items as you can we moved on to presents (we played bingo during presents and there were prizes for the winners) 🙂 My adorable nieces helped me open gifts. Instead of pictures of each gift (there were so many) – I’ll post just the quilts for now to save room. Itty has lots of quilts and blankets, she is so very lucky!
There was one more blanket that didn’t get a photo snapped (or it did but it didn’t make it to my computer from Ryan’s) – I’ll get a picture later and add it as it’s a wonderful summer blanket for Itty made by Marilyn.
After we finished gifts I wanted to get some pictures with family/friends in front of the clothes line which was now bursting with baby clothes!
It was a great shower and little Itty has a whole new wardrobe among other items. I’ll post later with some of the gifts. We spent the rest of the weekend with family, just relaxing. Sunday after some time with the family and then some time with Ryan’s family we drove home with the car packed to the max (we couldn’t even fit everything but luckily my parents are coming out next weekend and can bring the rest) 🙂 I spent some time Sunday night organizing the gifts but I haven’t figured out where we’re going to store everything just yet.
The week is already under way and I can’t wait for the 65 degree weather to melt the snow so we can do window installations in the nursery this weekend!
2 months to go until Itty comes – time to start putting the nursery back together 🙂
