[more]Blessings for BamBam

It was a beautiful, sunny day in Central California and though it felt like summer it was the 1st of October and we were ready to celebrate life. My sis-in-law, Tracie, with the help of my MIL, hosted a shower for BamBam and I. The colors were beautiful and the invitations were adorable. :)



We played a couple of baby name games followed by a Mexican-themed lunch of carne asada in tortilla bowls with salsa and guac and, of course, cheesecake with strawberries for dessert. It was really, really yum.




And then there were gifts.

A beautiful handmade card.
I remain very excited about (and impressed by) this homemade diaper bag...

Favorite books.
 Leave it to BekahDear to remember "Big Brother Finn." :)
A super cute, soft owl pillow!
I don't think she realized it, but one of Brian's Grandmas came wearing BamBam's nursery turquoise!
Brian's sister, Julie, was unable to attend, yet she baked these little ducky cake pops and shipped them from Michigan for us to enjoy! We missed you, Julie!

My college friend, BekahDear, traveled to my shower and picked me up from the airport. It was fabulous seeing her. BekahDear, I loved our last [pre-Babe] sleepover. (Thanks for dealing with all my middle-of-the-night Tums chewing!) Miss you!

Thank you, Ladies, for this special day! It was scrumptious, entertaining, and sentimental. Thank you for bringing everyone together to celebrate our little love and for making it so much fun. 


BamBam and I were given everything from Huggies, to handmade closet [size] organizers, to Dr. Browns bottles, to "Icky Bags." I am thrilled to get all of our cool new stuff unpacked and 'moved in' to the nursery! Yet again, we have been blessed and we are thankful.
Pin It!

  1. Aww...it was a really fun day. It was a real treat for us to be able to have you here to "shower" you and BamBam with our love. Thanks for capturing it so beautifully here in your blog. And then getting to take you back home with me and spending the next 10 days with you and Brian here with us was just absolutely wonderful!! A very special time indeed!
