Today we had our first baby shower. It was hosted at my office by my great friends, Rebekah, Amy, and Randy. I continue to be amazed by everyone's generosity. We received the preemie suitable car seat, the matching stroller, a pack n play, diaper champ, tons of cute outfits, toys, and so much more. It was a really great party.
In addition to the awesome gifts, we had a mexican taco bar and the coolest cake ever. Randy's wife, Alice, made the cake. It was a butter cream carrot cake, with cream cheese icing and butterscotch drizzle- Let me just say- it was too die for. Alice really out did herself. Not only did it taste fantastic, but it was decorated amazingly, as well. She iced the sides in a basket weave pattern, and topped it with a baby(doll) covered in a blanket surrounded by fresh flowers. My description doesn't due it justice- it was very cute. Once I get the baby shower pics from Randy I'll post a pic of it. I can't wait for you to see it.
Rebekah and Amy, also out did themselves. They decorated the conference room splendidly. It looked like a wedding reception. They had cloth tablecloths with baby's breath centerpieces and tull tied around each chair. Very fancy! Hopefully, we got great pics of the decorations too.
It was a great day and I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful friends and co-workers. I don't know if I posted this in the past, but not only did these guys put together a wonder baby shower, but they also took care of me and my family during my hospital stay. Amy and Rebekah brought me food and kept me company during my first days in the hospital. And then after that they organized meals for my family with Randy, Jay, and Wendy (two other co-workers). In addition, Jay came over one night, during our worst snow storm yet, and SHOVELED our entire 3 car driveway. I can't say enough wonderful things about my office friends.
