My first BABY SHOWER! :)

On Saturday October 12, 2013 I had my first baby shower for Ellison! My friends Lauren, Jolynn, Bethany, and Allison threw it for me and it was at Jolynn's beautiful home. It could not have been more perfect and I was SO thankful to everyone who came and showered us with love. I am still just over the moon about the whole thing. God is WAY too good!!! Here are some pictures of the gorgeous shower...

The food table... so pretty!

Ellison's sweet sonogram with some cute decor!

I think half of these were from my mom... HA! This is before everyone arrived! So blessed!

Adorable chalkboard banner!

The famous "shower" blocks... love them.

Love it... Bethany's pics were so "artsy" ;)

Cute bucket my mom gave some gifts to me in... thankful!

I love this - not only was the cake made by Lauren which was amazing but also the burp clothes under the invitation made by Jolynn. So talented!!!

Posing when I walked in ;)

My friend Lisa had a brilliant idea for the cake topper so this picture is for her creative idea! :)

Some of the us enjoying the yummy shower food!

Gifts galore - so thankful!

Everyone cutting ribbon the size they think my belly was... AH!

Preggo friends... she might have cheated a little... and we might be almost the same size even though she is almost 5 weeks ahead of me... waaah!!!

My sweet mama, who tied for the win with Courtney! She must see my belly a lot! :)

Sweet Courtney tying with mom! I think they cheated ;) kidding!

Mama Baer having her turn... hers was a little big! :)

My other preggo friend... who usually wins this game... but was off a little :) Blame it on being pregnant! ;)

My beautiful friend Allison blending in with all the gifts - we had to get a picture... she was so sweet to help pass the gifts to me while I was opening! Love! :)

OH MIA... my friend Jenny's little girl... she is SO precious!

I can always expect something cute and frilly from Lauren ;) Looove it! Ella is going to be styling next summer! :)

Cutest outfit ever from Ma! (my grandma) :)

The softest little bear outfit from Aunt Donna! Loove!!

My sweet friend Lily made this precious cross for Ella's nursery, I love it! She is so creative!

My Sanctuary friends went in together and bought us our car seat along with some other things... how awesome is that? EEK!

My hostess' gave me this most precious blanket with matching fabric from Ella's bedding. LOVE! (Jolynn sewed it!)

Here's where I lost it when opening up Ella's bedding that Jolynn made.... I am so beyond thankful and I feel so loved. Can't say it enough.

Just crying hahaha!

My sweet creative friends, Courtney and Lily, painting Ella's blocks! :)

After some girls had left, we remembered to take a group picture. Love this.

The grandma's stepped out and Bethany joined! :)

My sweet, amazing hostess'.... Not to mention the three preggos in the middle.. haha! SO fun! Love you all so much!

I never thought we would be preggo together!! Love it! 31 weeks and 13 weeks! My belly might swallow Laurens.. HA!

31 weeks and 36 weeks... preggo friends! Not too much longer until we find out boy or girl!!! Eek!!

I love this.... picture with my moms!!! SO thankful for both of them!
