This past weekend was our first baby shower. It was so much fun! How can we ever thank the Rother family enough for all their hard work to this fabulous fiesta? We had no idea what in the world the theme was, until we arrived and saw sombreros and festive color balls hanging from their porch. It was also accompanied by "Welcome Izzy J" signs in their front and back yard.
Their home had all sorts of decor to festively invite Izzy into our lives. From the M&M's in margarita glasses to the yummy enchiladas from none other than Cafe Clinton! It was all so yummy.
Tingie (what Iz will call her sweet grandmother) is on cloud nine for this little angel to come into our lives.
Donna and Kevin got Scott and I a baby book to display and record all the fun things in the next few months...then years of her life. These pages were displayed for people to write sweet messages/wishes for her.
Doug and Sara are out for the "best uncle and aunt" award! They recorded guests speaking, toasts, and us opening gifts. Once we got to their gift we opened an empty video box...it turns out, they were using our camera to get us started. They bought us a video recorder so we have all IJD's life moments on film. You two are the most thoughtful people! Love you.
The Rother family, Scott and I. We are so blessed by your love and support. We don't know where or what we would be without you in our lives.
Our two favorite girls!
Some pictures will have to be displayed in a second posting. This hardly does the decor justice. It was absolutely precious. Along with enchiladas, Donna had guacamole dip, chips, salsa, taco salad, fruit, veggies, and lots of dessert! She knows my sweet tooth all too well. Along with chocolate covered strawberries, she had yummy cookie creations. They were topped with buttercream frosting. My mouth is watering just thinking about them.
We feel so lucky to have a couple's shower in Clinton where we love our extended family members. We are ever grateful for the fun things we got and looking forward to Izzy's debut wearing her cute clothes (i.e. rain jacket and boots) and playing with her new toys. This child is so loved! Cheers to the Rother family and the rest of our guests. We can't wait to meet our little girl...someday!
