Baby Shower

My sweet local friends hosted a Baby Shower for Baby Freeman a couple weeks ago.  Fortunately, my mom and sister were able to come in for the weekend.  In addition, James' mom and sister were there.  I am totally amazed at how blessed this baby is already.  Our friends and family have definitely outdone themselves with love for this little one.

I didn't get pictures of the food or decorations (I know, bad blogger on my part).  Just know it was simple and elegant.  The food was amazing.  My friend is a great cook and she did everything - even baked a cake that was TO DIE FOR.  I'll try to snag the recipe from her and post it here.

One thing they did is include a note in the invitation that in lieu of a card, they requested the person buy a book to build Baby's Library.  I thought it was a great idea and we got a ton of books!!

I'll just skip straight to the pictures  ( I was 34 1/2 weeks)

My friend loves Mustela - so she was excited when I got the gift set.

This blanket is handmade by one of the guests.  It has an incredibly soft fabric on the other side. 

My cute little sister!  So glad she could make it too!

I got a little excited about a really soft little lovey.  Kind of a silly picture but thought I would throw it in.

37 week post to come soon....I'll have James take a picture this evening (I'm going to run some errands and cross off some items on the To Do List which seems to keep growing!!)
