Baby Shower!

While we were in town for the Thanksgiving holiday Josh's wonderful mom and sister threw us a baby shower. It was absolutely perfect! The theme was "tickled pink" and everything was pink and polka dotted just like Avery's room. Here are Josh and I at the cake table.
Josh's mom's friend, Ms. Vicki, made the cake. It was absolutely beautiful and delicious too!
Here is a picture of the cake tableMs. Aleta ordered the CUTEST sugar cookies. They were little pink onesies with brown polka dots and the letter A on them; and the other ones had Avery's initials monogrammed on them.And of course there was TONS of food. Here is a picture of the spread:Everyone mingling and eatingHere are some of the guests in the living room, waiting for us to start opening presents. My (bigger) little brother Jake came!Before we started opening presents, Ms. Aleta had Josh dress up like a baby, he had a diaper, big pacifier and bottle...it was too funny!When he sat down, Jen and Jody's son Mitch wanted to feed him the bottle!We got so many gifts! We are so truly blessed to have such great family and friends that take such good care of us.
I am not going to post all of the presents we opened, but here are a few of my favorites. This is a handmade quilt sewn by Mrs. Patricia. She is so talented and has made one for all of her daughters when they had a baby, I got one too! I have kind of been an honorary daughter since Chelsea and I became best friends in second grade.
Here is another handmade blanket from Mrs. Janet Killen, it is so soft and cuddly.
Ms. Aleta got Avery her first pair of shoes! The poor child had a closet full of cothes with no shoes. They are little black, patent leather ones that will match perfectly with her valentine's day outfit.She also got her the cutest little sailor outfit...I can't wait till she is big enough to fit into it.
This is one of the beautiful gown's Ms. Aleta got for her too.
Besides A LOT of clothes, we also got Avery's high chair, pack and play, boppys, bumbo seat, tummy time mat, jumper gym, and plenty of gift cards to get the other little stuff we need. Again I say we are so lucky to have such amazing friends and family.
