Baby Shower

I feel overwhelmed with love this week after attending my beautiful baby shower on Saturday. I keep telling little girl how blessed she is even though she doesn't even know it yet. It was such an enjoyable weekend, starting off with a vacation day on Friday for both Eddie and I. Mom, Chris, April, and Bella came to visit Friday afternoon from Virginia bringing along a Case tractor and bush hog. I think this was Eddie's favorite part of the weekend!! This tractor was my Dad's and he wanted so much to bring it to us while he was alive but he was just too sick to get it down to North Carolina. Every time I look at it, I think of Dad and how much fun he and my nephew Cole had working on it over the past few years.

My Aunt Amy hosted an amazing shower for me and baby girl at Four Square Restaurant in Durham. It was such a special time. I am honored that friends and family took the time to attend and also blessed us with very nice gifts for baby girl.

The theme was birds/nests and you can see that it was tastefully woven throughout the shower from the invitations to the floral arrangements even to the baby gifts that we received.

The lunch menu was fabulous and we played a game of finishing the nursery rhyme. I realized that I need to brush up on these with baby girl!!

I also received many wonderful gifts and had a great time opening them all!!

Eddie also made an appearance and was rewarded with his own gift to open...I think these will be his favorites for baby girl. Go Tigers!

What I enjoyed most of all was spending time with the my friends and family on this special day!
