Showers of Blessings

This past Sunday Karen, Molly, and Daphne graciously gave us a shower for Cade. It was a "family shower" if you will and was so nice. We ladies got together Sunday afternoon and had some wonderful refreshments including Kettle Corn (a favorite), M&, and cheese biscuits and white chocolate baby booties that my mom brought up. We had Karen's world famous lemonade to drink, of course.

Our refreshments. Daphne handmade the diaper cake you see as the centerpiece. She is so creative!
Mom and me. Yes, this is the biggest I've been with any of our pregnancies.

Me and my girls!

Mom gave us a new diaper pail as ours was workable but broken (due to the fact that I always overfill it to get the most out of the bag). She had actually already thought about getting us one when I called her and asked her to. The one we had (and wanted another one of) was only at Babies 'R' Us and I had gotten them to hold one in her name. That's something you can only do with your mother. :)

Daphne's present(s) were the MOST creative with them being several boxes of cereal and cereal bars to help with not having to "think" about breakfast after Cade arrives (and even now if needed). As she told me, "You know how I usually think outside the box. Well, this time I jumped right in it." So glad she did!

Some outfits for Cade from Karen

Our boys made an appearance to take a group shot near the end. We all grilled out together after the shower.

Mamaw's quilt for Cade.

I actually didn't expect one because she told us the limit was three. However, I'm so glad she made an exception. Isn't it beautiful, I mean, handsome?

The shower party. Candace and Julia Kate joined as because, well, they're like family. :) How do you like that profile shot of the belly? Impressive, huh?

Here's a public thank you to all of our family and especially to Karen, Molly, and Daphne for hosting this for us. We got many a diaper and wipe which will be wonderful and save us trips to Wal-Mart after the boy is born. We are so grateful for all of our blessings!
