Baby Shower #1 - Roark/Sitze/Friends
Saturday (9/14/2013) was my first baby shower. Elizabeth, my Mom and Denise threw/hosted a gorgeous shower at Elizabeth's house. It was such a lovely day outside and everything turned out really lovely! Here are quite a few pictures from the day!
We had brunch which included my favorite...gooey butter cake!
Trisha made her famous cookies which couldn't have turned out any better!
Group photo of everyone!
Instead of doing games everyone made a custom onesie for Charlotte! I loved this!!
Then came the presents!
Trisha made a custom frame with a "C" made out of buttons!
My girlfriend Carla made me custom receiving blankets and burp cloths!
My girlfriend Julie from grade/middle/high school who now lives in Sweden handmade two blankets and shipped them to be there in time for my shower...they are gorgeous!!
My sister got me my diaper bag...my first Kate Spade!!
My parents and my grandma got us our stroller/carseat system...it's a jogger so Charlotte and I will be on the road come springtime :)
Dave showed up at the end to pack everything up and head home! That belly is large!
All the decorations looked so great and I couldn't have asked for a better shower!
Everything looks absolutely beautiful! I have to admit that Emily had to help me a little when I was trying to fold my note/card. I couldn't quite remember how to do it! I also meant to include in the note, but forgot, that the blankets are washable. It says to wash them at 40 degrees Celsius, I'm guessing that's warm, and then lay flat to dry. Also, I'm going to be in St. Charles at the end of October. I'm not sure how you'll be feeling, but I'd love to see you! Maybe I could bring you lunch one day? You can let me know when it gets closer!
ReplyDeleteI would love for you to come by! Just let me know what day and time! Maybe Charlotte will even come early and you will be able to see her too! Wishful thinking on my part :)
