Baby Shower!

My Amazing Sister Morgan and Best Friend Kaleigh threw the most fun baby shower to help celebrate our Lil Man! I can not thank them enough for their organization, creativity, generousity and love! It was a great event with lots of family and friends!

Our great Friend Anita came from Chicago to help us celebrate and became the third hostesses! She helped so much this day, we can't thank her enough!



One of my favorite parts! I love reading these as I sit in the babies room!

The beautiful Waffle bar! What a yummy idea!

One of the most creative gifts was a Diaper Barge!

Made by my talented Cousin's Lauren and Kelly! Thank you so much guys - It was awesome!

The hostesses made it a book vs. card shower and had the cutest "labels" made for the guests to write who all the books are from. We are so excited to read them all to the lil man soon!

Our Amazing family friend from Church - Sandy, made this beautiful play mat/Quilt for the baby! It's perfect!

Amazing!

Had to pause for some baby kicks! Lil man was feeling so blessed!

This one made me tear up a little bit! A boston Red Sox shirt from our friends the McDermotts who we were with at the Boston Marathon the year of the tragic bombings. Before all the craziness we had seen a game with them. A trip we will always remember! Thank you for thinking of us when you went back this year! He will wear that shirt Boston Strong!
