Today my sister and my mom hosted a baby shower for me. It was great! We started off the morning shopping for new cell phones and something cute that I could wear today. I absolutely despise shopping unless it's with my mom and my sister so things actually turned out well. I got a semi-cute dress from Old Navy (I think at this point all things look ridiculous on me).
Then I got to just hang out with them and chill until the party started. We had about 40 people show up and just about everyone brought a package of diapers for a diaper raffle in which a quilt my mom and I had made was raffled off. This was such a cute idea and we ended up with about 40 packages of diapers ranging in size from newborn to 6! Thank you to everyone who participated in the raffle! This is going to help me and Shaun so much!
The food was great (when I finally remembered to eat, lol) and the day was nice enough that we could sit outside. It was too windy to open gifts outside, though, so we headed indoors. I hate being the center of attention but managed to make it through the gift opening fine. Again, HUGE thanks to everyone who bought something for baby Evelyn. She's going to love it all and Shaun and I greatly appreciate it.
Then there was cake. Yum! I've definitely got a weak spot for good frosting and the cake Taunia brought was perfect...I actually got to take the leftovers home with me ;-)
Lastly, I just want to give a huge THANK YOU for everyone who was involved in planning and setting up (including John who got roped in by default). The day was perfect!!!
