How come nobody told me. Sheesh! At least I can laugh about it, right!?
Anyhow!
Today was such a FANTASTIC day! My dear sweet friend, Jamie, that I've know since age 8, we were baptized on the same day in the same font in the Canyon Country building! Well, Jamie threw me such a fun baby shower. I'm still in shock of the generosity of others. And love that so many friendships have lasted through decades!
I was born in Colorado and 4 of my childhood friends, we're talking ages 2-6, came with gifts of clothes and diapers and blankets! The last time I saw them I think I was 14 or 15?? (I'm super sad I missed getting a picture with them!)
Long time family friends and one of my childhood crushes, age 8-12 ish, his mother and sister came with darling outfits and hand-made blankets and burp clothes!
My sister and cousins helped out tons and even brought a gift! My cousin game up a trip to Santa Barbara, Ca, to stick around and make the most delicious cake balls!
My aunt and cousins came with darling home-crafted stuff!
My friend from high-school came!
Two of my college/dorm-mates came with gifts and love!
Friends from when I was newly married came with some of my more recently made friends!
Ward friends came!
Neighbor friends came!
Sisters-in-law, cousins-in-law, Great Grandparents-in-law!
My mother-in-law sent party favors designed JUST for this occasion! And designed some little onesies and burp clothes with the yummiest of colors.
Really, I felt so overwhelmingly LOVED. Amazed. I am till in awe even several hours later. I don't think I'll need to buy diapers or wipes until he's 4 months old. I'm set on clothes for probably the whole first year!
I'm really blown away and feel so lucky and blessed from today's events! I don's think I could use enough exclamation marks to share my elation!
So for those of you that came and contributed and showed your support and shared your time with me.....THANK YOU! My heart is so filled from all of your love!
