We had our very first baby shower on Saturday, March 12th. It was a couples/co-ed baby shower. It was so much fun and special to have the guys in on the celebration. This shower was so cute! Melanie, Katie and Loren did such a great job decorating! Every detail was just perfect! They used our "whimsical bird and owl" theme from the nursery.

The most adorable diaper cake that Loren made!

Yummy cupcakes and "Baby Bird Food" favors

Our "cravings" bar with all of our favorites!
I had to make 2 plates to hold it all!

Game Time!! They had to try to draw a picture of our baby on top of their heads. Casey won because she included a big bow on Caroline's head.

Then the guys and girls raced to see which team could blow up their balloon and then "deliever" their baby by popping it. The women of course won this one!

Then it was present time!

Kristen wanted to read her favorite book, "Go Dog Go" to Caroline. So sweet!

Kristy and sweet Bailey

We got so many precious gifts!

Cute headband holder from Aunt Katie and Uncle Dustin

We got many great books to share with our little girl!
Gotta start her off right with reading!

Our very special tree!
Everyone stamped their thumbprint as they came in and then signed their name.
This matches the tree in Caroline's nursery perfectly! So cute!

The lovely hostesses: Katie, Melanie and Loren
I feel so blessed to have these girls in my life!
Thank you for all of your hard work to make this day so special!

We could not have asked for a more perfect, more special, more meaningful first baby shower. We were so touched by everyone that came and helped us celebrate this special time.
We love you all very much!
Yay! Blog is getting updated! Love these pictures and so glad you enjoyed the couples' shower! I have loved the hype that all these showers has brought to the anticipation of "Sweet Caroline!" ... "bom bom bommmm" ;) Let Aunt Meli know if she can help with your Spring Break 'to-do list.' I love you, big 'sis!!
