It's A Shower!

A baby shower that is ;o) As most of you know, I went back to NB two weekends ago to attend my own shower and spend some time with my family. I'm ashamed it's taken me this long to post this but when I got home, I came down with this horrid head cold and I've been miserable ever since. Ugh!

Anyway, Mom and our friend S did a fabulous job of putting this party together. S opened up her home for the party and it was greatly appreciated. I think Mom had such a fun time shopping for all the supplies and she did a great job. It was a jungle theme, including a monkey of course ;o)

When the guests came in, there was a banner (in the same theme) they could sign. I plan on putting it up in Junior's room. Believe it or not but I have not read the messages yet. Why? I'm not sure but I'm think I'm afraid I might cry.

There was a ton of food! So delicious! And of course a cake with little blue baby booties made of icing :o) Mom had also put together goodie bags for the guests to take home with them.

In the end, there were fourteen people (including me). Fifteen if you include the 'baby' -

I had a few people cancel at the last minute and although I really missed seeing them, I completely understand why they couldn't be there. I did enjoy catching up with everyone but sadly three hours flies by fast.

I can't believe how spoiled I was! The gifts were overwhelming and I thought they would never stop -

I've done my best to take pictures of everything but there are a few things missing from the following pictures. There were a handful of books and two dog snugglies that didn't get included. I ran out of steam while taking the pictures so that's why no books but the snugglies are at S's house because she's going to embroider Junior's name on them when we announce his name ;o)

Can you believe all this came home with me???? I had brought an extra suitcase with me but in the end, there were three extra boxes and a crib mattress that came back across the ferry! LOL! There were some people that had passed on some items to us so that's why the extra baggage. It's a good thing they have a container to place these items in. I can't imagine trying to lug all that with me on the ferry ;o)

The majority of everything has been washed, sorted and put away. The nursery IS getting closer to being finished! I can't thank everyone enough for making that day so special :o) I truly have the best family and friends. More to come...
