Baby Shower

My good friend Katie threw me a wonderful baby shower on Sunday. And her mom Theresa did an amazing job behind the scenes washing dishes, cutting cake, making punch, and generally ensuring that the rest of us got to hang out and have a great time. Such a special day having so many friends gathered together to celebrate the coming arrival of Baby.


Katie did a great job organizing everything. There was lots of delicious food, including her famous chicken sandwiches and some great tabouli, a yummy cake with creamy strawberry filling, and to top it off Katie picked up my favorite ice cream combination from Cold Stone - Black Forest Dream (chocolate ice cream with brownies, hot fudge, and cherry pie filling - absolutely to die for!). As Katie said, it couldn't possibly be a party for me without ice cream. :)

There was also a rousing round of the rice and safety pin game, with varying amounts of rice flying throughout. :) One of my favorite parts of the day was seeing the painted onesies people made for Baby.


Everyone was extremely generous; there were lots of presents to open full of sweet little things for Baby.



So excited about these cute little board books. Love Eric Carle!

The first section of the cutest little flannel quilt that Katie is making for Baby. So soft and sweet!

Katie also had cards available for people to write advice on - Chris and I loved reading through them all and I can't wait to scrapbook them.

Thank you so much to Katie and Theresa for their hard work, and to everyone for coming - and for your generosity! It is definitely much appreciated, and I am sure all of the gifts will be well used. :) Thank you all for making this such a special day!


Note: I am planning to post a more complete set of pictures in a new "photos" section by the end of the week, so keep an eye out if you're wanting to get a better look at all those cute little baby items we received. :)
