Utah Baby Shower

Well, the baby shower my mom and sister threw us in Utah was a huge success! The only thing better would have been if Paul and I could have been there. My sister Amber and my mom went above and beyond.

My entire family and some of our dear life long friends were there. They made a shower video where everyone said something to us. They took lots of pictures and had a game where everyone guessed the due date and Madeline's height and weight.

Here is a picture of the delectable shower food. MAN I wish I was there. It looks SO GOOD. Amber did send Paul and I some delicious monkey bread and a cake mix to make so we could have our own shower food.


We got so many wonderful gifts! The cutest clothes, accesories, and shoes ever! My sister-in-law Kris made us the most adorable blanket. I can't wait to put this stuff on Madeline. It's going to be like having my own little doll to dress up all over again - accept this one is real.


Then Amber packaged it all up - very neatly and organized I might add - and sent it off to us here in Tennessee. It arrived in perfect condition. This is after it has been unwrapped a few times from paper and bubble paper...


Here's Paul with the shower box. We had a really good time opening it and unwrapping all the gifts. And yes, if you look closely, there is a reminder in this picture... Lunch at the Olive Garden for soup, salad, and breadsticks is ONLY $5.95!! Don't miss out!

My mom and Amber will be coming to Tennesssee for a week to help out after we have the baby. They are arriving on September 9th (my due date). This will be the first time Amber has been here and the first time my mom and Amber have seen our house.
