Our joint & co-ed baby shower for Allison & Olivia was this past Saturday and it was such an amazing day! Karen and I ideally wanted a "field day" type of shower that was fun for all guests (kids and adults) as a pre-thank you for sharing in this experience with us and the girls went above and beyond to make this happen for us. From beautiful diaper cakes, personalized onesy's, an amazing melt-in-your-mouth picture cake, delicious food, outdoor & indoor games, moon bounce, pool -- you name it we had it and in such an organized fashion too, makes mama proud!
I've attended baby showers and provided gifts in the past but being on the receiving end of this is a whole new experience. I couldn't believe how much we received for Allison (and future babies) and I don't think people realize collectively how much it truly helps Danny & I. Opening up each item that was specially wrapped, colorful tissue paper, reading thoughtful cards, and seeing an item that our baby will soon use aroused such an overwhelming & happy feeling. Gratitude like that just can't be expressed in a small "thank you" card and I wish I could do more to show our appreciation.
*To the girls that are like my family-- THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING.
*To all of our generous guests-- We are so grateful and can't wait to pay it forward (and back) when the time comes for each of you to grow your families.
