BABY Shower!

I had my baby shower this weekend! It was so much fun! I definitely have the most wonderful friends in the world. They worked so hard to put it all together, and it turned out great! I feel really grateful for our friendship together. All of these girls deserve the best!
The shower was wonderful. My brother-in-law Anthony actually helped make the diaper cake shown above. Impressive Anth! I loved it. I've never seen diapers look so cute. We played lots of fun games, ate delicious food, and I got a lot of very cute presents. It was a great day.

I think ALL baby clothes are so cute because they're so tiny! I can't wait to try everything on my little angel.

It was definitly great to get the essentials. Josh and I haven't really bought the needed supplies yet, so I was very grateful for them!

Erica, in the foreground, is one of the sweetest people in the world. She has a great heart!! She is getting married in December so who knows, it might not be long til I'm going to her baby shower.

Stephanie Lovelace is in the background, and she is one of the most genuine people in the world. I've never met someone with such a great perspective and who is so caring for others. She is definitely a great example to me.

My sister-in-law, Stephani, made me this beautiful blanket for Anna. She is very talented, and I'm definitely lucky to have her as my sister-in-law.

One of the activities was to design little onesies. We had iron-on fabric and made little designs to decorate them. They turned out fabulous!! I can't wait to try them on Anna. Pictures to come!

Stephani had a pretty creative and cute saying -- "Don't wake me, I'll wake you." I'm sure that will come true as soon as Anna arrives.

The one with hearts is Anna's Valentine's outfit, designed by Camille. The "a" is an original design by Erin Johnson, very fashionable this year.

The latest Erica brand is sporting a fashionable yellow to accentuate the beauty of the name, "Anna." Good choice Erica!

The classic "Lo" design by Lauren Gillespie has caught the attention of many moms and dads around the apartment. It is sure to be enjoyed by all.

This is a mother's original, PRICELESS, designed for bright spring time days. This design will only be complete by the added accessory of a large red bow.

Camille, beautiful as always, was wonderful in helping prepare food for the occasion, which turned out wonderfully. Camille and I were roommates all through college. It won't be long til I can throw her a baby shower, (she's not pregnant; I'm just excited for when she is).

Whitney, Amberly, and I have been friends for about two and a half years now. They are so wonderful. Everything is more fun when they're around.

Alisa is absolutely wonderful. She and I moved into our current ward the same week and have pretty much been great friends since. She and her husband are some of our very favorite people to hang out with. I'm really lucky to have her as a friend.

The ol' gang together again. I love these girls. Whenever we get together, it's as if nothing has changed. Sometimes you just know when you're going to be friends forever, and I'm sure this is going to be the case with these girls.

Josh and I bought a baby swing yesterday. We didn't want to buy one at the store because we'll be moving after this year and will have to sell it. We found this one on craigslist for $40. It was a great deal; it's almost brand new. This lady said that her son didn't like the swing, and so he never hardly used it. We're so excited to put Anna in it. I think this will be one of the many lifesavers for those sleepless nights.
