Baby Shower

I hope everyone had a nice weekend! Today is the last day of my extended weekend and I'm glad I took a few extra days off being that we had such a busy weekend being that we had our baby shower on Sunday! (Warning: This is a very picture heavy post!)

(Just in case you didn't know- we are naming the baby Salvatore after Sam's grandpa.)

The weekend started with my cousins coming in from Michigan to spend Saturday night at our place so we were able to have some real time to hang out and getting caught up.

I always love getting to spend time with these girls and I'm so happy they could make the trip being that I don't have family that lives in Illinois.

Sunday came and it was the big day- our baby shower!

 

I actually feel so blessed because of the amount of  people who came out to our shower. I had a full table of just my family-

 

 

Which included both of my grandmas!

 

 



 

There was another full table of just our friends who I know all will play an important roll in this baby's life-

 

 

And of course there was many people from Sam's extended family and family friends who also shared in our special day!

 

(The Great Aunts- the sisters of Grandpa "Sam") 

 



(The Creekside Crew! The neighborhood friends.)

 

Sam and I felt so loved because we know how much this baby is already cared for by so many people. And that love was shown 10-fold by the amount of generosity that was in all the gifts that we were given to us for this baby.

 

 

(My aunt Sue made those stuffed animals- how cute are they?!?)

 

Our baby shower was a lot like our wedding shower, and I probably couldn't have made it through the day without Sam by my side and all our friends who helped us keep rolling with all the gift opening so we weren't there all day!

 

 

 

 

 

And there is no other way that I could end this post but to saying a HUGE "Thank You!" to Sam's parents for putting this shower on for us! 

 



 

This day wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for you!
