Baby Showers

This past weekend I had my first baby showers. One was thrown by some wonderful church friends and the other one was thrown by great family friends. They were both so much fun! Kendall got some really cute stuff. Having a girl is already really fun, especially when it comes to all of the cute clothes, blankets, etc.

The first shower was mostly church friends from over the years. It was great to see everyone and catch up on what is going on with everybody. It's so neat to see people that have meant so much to me growing up. Sunday School teachers, choir director, best friends and their moms, youth minister's wife, and the list goes on and on. It was a really fun day. One of the most special gifts was from Ryan's mom who made a sweet blanket. I love it and I know Kendall will too! We also received some great monogrammed gifts that I'm so excited about!

The next shower was many of my mom's co-workers, as well as other church friends from over the years. My sister, my 2 sister-in-laws, and my other two "sisters", Allison & Ansley, were all there. At this shower, my mom gave me the dress that Lauren and I wore home from the hospital when we were born. It was given to me by my sweet Gran, so it is extremely special, and we plan to continue to the tradition with Kendall. We also got the crib bedding from my parents that I can't wait to put in her room.
