Baby Shower- My Side

Last Saturday was my baby shower on my side of the family.  Wow, words cannot even begin to express my gratitude to everyone for such a wonderful event.  Stephanie opened her home to the whole party, she even got my brother to slave over a hot stove all day with her making yummy soups.  Heather made some amazing cupcakes and mini pies, Makinzee made some more yummy desserts, my mom brought her amazing cheese ball plus all sorts of sides, my grandma made a yummy relish tray.  And I'm sure there was so much work that I'm completely forgetting to mention here.  My mom even roped her friend into helping out.

And then all the wonderful guests who came.  It was great to see them all.  Several of my close cousins came, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, my grandma my mom's church friend, and even a high school friend that I haven't seen in ages, (and of course my wonderful family that threw the shower).  What a treat to see all of them.  That was the best gift ever.  We did miss my Linzy and Tabatha there.  Unfortunately coming from Maryland for a baby shower just isn't all that feasible.  We can't wait to see them next summer though.
