My Baby Shower



My family and friends put on the nicest baby shower I have ever been to last Saturday. Pink Oriental laterns hung from the ceiling, music that was on my blog over the years played in the background, M&M's with Lauren's little face on them as well as her birthdate and my favorite scriptures for her, a beautiful yummy cake with one of Steph's designs on the top and personalized with Lauren's name, a garden stone made with thought and hard work that quotes, "For this Child I prayed", fun games including one called "adoption maddness" ;), the list goes on. What meant the most to me was having all my family and friends together and thinking and dreaming of Lauren's arrival very, very soon!

The Arizona Adoption Mama's made there appearance as as pictured above! :)

Thank you everyone for the beautiful, amazing, baby shower. My cheeks hurt for days from smiling so much. :)

I am so happy you guys had fun! Mary filled me in on the details! Felt like I was a fly on the wall!! :)

Hopefully your shower gift will arrive today! I am a little late I know! I forgot to tell you one detail about the gift.... here it is: When you see the gift remember this - "Rabbit in the Moon".

HEY...I just noticed that there are four pink lanterns hanging the four of us in that picture. Do you think that means something???

I bet your cheeks hurt after Saturday. You were all "a glow"...I loved it!

It really was a sweet shower. You could tell a lot of thought went into it. I loved the fact that Lauren's picture was everywhere. And, THANK YOU for bringing her finding ad.

The shower was fun. Mary certainly had her hand in the cake...or at least the icing. 18 days til you go!
