Baby Shower's and Thanks You's
We are so blessed to have so many generous friends and family members. We had TWO baby showers for Skyler. One was hosted by my boss and great friends at work, Karen and Jenica, and the other was hosted by my awesome sister Patty and her friend/neighbor Maureen.
Karen and Jenica threw a baby shower at work on November 13, 2007. We had the shower in the lunch room and every one brought food. Karen and Jenica did a Noah's Ark theme and they even got the cake people to draw the design of the plates/napkins/cups onto the cake!!! The cake was awesome and they got the cake lady to put pineapple in the middle (since I had been craving that throughout my pregnancy)! We played guess how many candies were in the bottle and Klarimarie won the game as she had at the previous baby shower for another co-worker. I remember talking to Karen on the phone when she was counting the candies out ... very tedious work Skyler, so you can tell how much she cared about you already!!! So many of my wonderful co-workers blessed us with a so many wonderful gifts ... I thought I would be opening gifts for days :) Karen and Jenica put three balloons behind my chair and the whole time I was opening the gifts my hair would stick straight up to the balloons :) When Karen was packing up the gifts to put in my car she put all the confetti in the bags and I am still finding it in the house, 5 months later!!! Jenica and Karen did some hard work to bless me with such a wonderful shower and I can't wait for my opportunity to return to favor to them :) Here is a slide show of the baby shower :
On November 17, 2007, Patty hosted a baby shower for Skyler at our neighbor Maureen's house. The baby shower was great and so many friends and family members came :) We had a Honey Baked Ham and lots of other treats, including the awesome party favors that Patty had special made for Skyler. She went to Alessi Bakery and had them make blue cookies with his name on them. They were great and reminded me of my UF graduation cake b/c they turned every bodies mouth blue. Patty was supposed to be taking pictures of the gifts while I was opening them, but instead she got pictures of my fat, swollen feet. So I decided to include one of them in the slideshow for you :) We played don't say baby and guess how big my stomach is! Amanda won the stomach guessing exactly!!! Lauren and Lindsay found some very clever ways of getting people to loose their Don't Say Baby clips. All of Skyler's favorite non-related Aunties were there : Brie, Karen, Jenica, Mist. Skyler's real Aunties were there : Katherine and Patty. Other friends and Family included Aunt Doris, Sheryl, Amanda, and Yvonne, Anne Marie, Lauren and Lindsay, Maureen, Maggie and Rory, Diana, and Krista and Kayla!!! Kayden even came and celebrated your upcoming arrival :) I also included a slide show of this great party :
Thanks again to all of our friends and family members who were able to make it to the baby showers and to all of those who were unable to attend but sent your best wishes!! Skyler has been so blessed to be born into a world where he is loved so much already. Brendan and I are grateful for your generosity and we have loved using our baby gifts with Skyler ... so many of them have been life savers :) The Thank You's and Announcements are slowly, but surely making their way out to you so keep your eyes peeled!!!
Love to All,
Ally
