2nd Baby Shower!!

This past Saturday, Erica, Allison and Cassi threw me an awesome baby shower at Erica's beautiful home. Everything was amazing - the decorations, the food, the games and the company! I couldn't have asked for anything better...I felt so blessed! Words can't describe how appreciative I am of all of their hard work.

My sister came all the way from San Francisco to be here for the shower and my mom was still here from the previous weekend. It was so nice to have them there to make this time so special! Thanks also to everyone else who was able to come...it was so much fun!

And, I can't even describe how wonderful the presents were - so many amazing handmade gifts along with a bunch of practical things that I will need for the baby. Thank you so much! It was a wonderful day!

It was a lot of fun to have everyone over!! Too bad I have to go paint over that "It's a Girl Sign" now. haha You did get so many cute things, though, and I'm so glad...even though I did covet a few of them. :)
