We had our first baby shower this past weekend and it was OH SO MUCH FUN! I was an emotional wreck the entire day, but I wouldn't change one single minute of it. I cried getting dressed that morning...I cried on the drive to the shower...I cried when I walked in and saw all the decorations...and I cried when I opened some of the gifts. All the tears were thankful tears, so thankful for this gift from God :)
Here is one of the tables...
Our little cousin made the cupcake toppers and our older cousin made the cupcakes...cherry limeade cupcakes!!
Here is a picture of us with the hosts...
Eleni, Litsa, me, David, Brenna and Jimmy
Litsa made this adorable banner that was hung above all the gifts for Addi Kate...
Here is a (fuzzy) pic of David and I with our parents...
We were so blessed and couldn't believe how many friends and family came to help us celebrate our little bundle of joy, we literally had close to 50 people at the shower. Addison is one loved little girl!!
David and I were so wired from the shower that we couldn't wait to get home, unpack all our goodies, and organize them all in the nursery...
We got home from the shower around 8:00 p.m. and I don't think we went to bed until close to 2:00 a.m.
One of my favorite gifts came from D-ma...it is the lamp for the nursery. Look at how perfect it looks in her room...
Our chair should arrive in a couple of weeks and I can't wait to see it sitting in this corner.
Our hosts gave us this Vera Bradley diaper bag and I LOVE the fabric...
I love seeing those sweet initials too!
It was a day that I had prayed about for years and one that I will never forget...we have been abundantly blessed this year.

I love all the pink and that lamp is adorable! Love the Vera Bradley diaper bag. I actually bought one when they were changing the style and they were cheap. I couldn't resist even though we aren't expecting a little one yet. Happy New Year!
I bought my one daughter and one daughter-in-law a Vera Bradley diaper bag and they loved them. The lamp is perfect. I cannot wait to see the entire room. Showers are so much fun.
Oh wow! What a beautiful shower. You really remind me so much of myself. I cried happy tears during my two showers. I had gone to so many of my friends' showers wondering if I would ever have one of my own. When it was my turn, I just couldn't believe it. My baby is 11 months old, and I still can't believe he is mine. Can't wait to see the finished nursery!!!
