Answered Prayers: Showered with Love and Gifts

We have been blessed to have had four wonderful baby showers (only two of which I remembered to bring my camera for) We are so thankful for the friends and family who love us enough to help us give our sweet baby the best start possible!!!

Shower number one was thrown by my coworkers and friends. They decided to keep it light and fun for the men who were invited ;). So we ate at Fugi's with our friends and coworkers and were showered with gifts there. We had a blast and Justin was extremely grateful he did not have to attend a stuffy old baby shower :). As you might have guessed this is one of the showers I left my camera at home for :(. It was before this shower I decided to make all the hostess gifts. I wanted them to have a more personal touch. For this shower I made the initial door wreaths I posted about here.....

Our Second shower was thrown by our besties. I have known these girls since high school and I am blessed to have them in my life!!!!

Left to Right: Kelli, Krystal, Me, LaRae and Ollie. (Note Allison got gone before we snapped a pic and Elena couldn't make it but they deserve a mention all the same)

We had help from two sweet little girls

Doesn't Justin look thrilled...lol

We played a game where everyone decorated onesies...so fun!!!

Thanks to pintrest these are the hostess gifts I made for those lovely ladies!!! Canvas + Material + Paint + a wooden letter

Thanks Again Ladies for all your hard work!!!

Our third shower was thrown by my aunt, me sister and a family friend. (Of coarse this was the second shower I forgot to take me camera too). It took place at cheaha state park group lodge on a dreary day so we were thankful for everyone who attended!!! We received a lot of great things and it was good to catch up with some old friends!!!

Our fourth and final shower was the big one!!! It was thrown at our church by a group of wonderful ladies whom I am very thankful for!!

I made chalkboards for the hostess gifts. I took old cabinet doors taped off the edges, painted the inside with chalk board paint and added a burlap bow!!! I thought they turned out pretty good.
