Baby Shower!

This past weekend, my mom, grandma, and my lovely sisters, came up to State College to throw me a baby shower! It was so awesome to have them in town and show them all of the stuff I had been up to the past few months. They all did so much for this shower, it was absolutely wonderful. From the bottle centerpieces, and homemade carriage cookies, to the amazing cake, they all went out of their way. This little girl is definitely going to be spoiled. What great Grandma's and Aunties she is going to have.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to come out and celebrate with us. Your support and friendship really means a lot to Brad and I both. And all of the amazing gifts that we received are amazing, and yes, to all of you who took bets, all of the clothing is washed and put away. Brad and I were quite busy yesterday.

Here are a few photos from the shower.

My mom, my sisters and my grandma all went in together and bought our little girl this wagon. A. Kristin completed it by making custom seat pads for it, and a matching quilt with our little one's name on it....look closely and you'll see it!
(She is being named after my grandma).

The cookie favor, which my sister Kristin made, and one of the games we played: name the baby animal—which was so hard! Only a lawyer would pick this game out, thanks A. Sarah, I decided I didn't have to play! Ha ha.

The flowers were sitting in baby bottles!

The amazing food!

The completely adorable cake my mom picked out and brought up from Harrisburg. It was spice cake, which I requested, with pumpkin mousse filling. Almost too cute to eat....I said almost!


Me and my massive belly trying to cut the cake....

Me and my grandma, 96 years-old today—Happy Birthday Grandma, this is the lady from whom our little on is getting her name.

Me and my Mom!
