Baby Shower #2

Last Saturday, Tracy, Bev, and Erin hosted a second baby shower for us, and I couldn't have been more grateful! It was held at Tracy and Bev's church in Blue Grass. Here is a group picture of Great Grandma Bev, Grandma Tracy, Me, my cousin, Erin, and her daughter, Lydia.

Bev made these cute flower pot/hand print center pieces! The teeny-tiny hand in front is Ava's (our cousin's 1st baby)...the newest member to the family, born one week ago!

My Dad and Josh made an appearance at the end to help clean up and load up all the gifts...and of course eat some cake! My Dad had never seen a cake with a picture on it...he didn't realize the picture was edible and just part of the frosting! He thought we just laid a picture on the cake. Oh, Dad!

The cake was from Sam's. I LOVE their cakes...the frosting is amazing!

It was wonderful to see so many family members and friends, and their thoughtfulness and generosity overwhelmed me! Baby Smyser is SO lucky!

Baby Shower #1

Last weekend Baby Smyser and I were honored by a great group of friends at a Baby Shower brunch hosted by my awesome friends, Erin & Gina.

I really felt so special and thankful for all my friends who thought of us and were able to celebrate with me. The brunch was delicious! The games were both educational (I learned newborns are born with 300 bones!) and entertaining (everyone, including me, hopes Baby Smyser has Josh's patience!).

Here's a fun group picture (minus Lindsay...sorry!). I am SO thankful to have such a wonderful group of friends!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

*Baby Smyser is going to be the best dressed, cleanest, most comfortable, warmest baby ever!
