Last Thursday I had my baby shower. I wasn't sure what to expect because where we're from the church throws a shower and it's usually a big turn out, it's usually always at the church and there are lots of women that go to those showers.
Because we are pioneering I wasn't expecting a lot. To my surprise, my mother in law, sister in law Desi and my sister Amy planned an incredible shower! It was SO gorgeous!
My sister wasn't able to come (she lives in Illinois) but she was very involved and without me knowing she sent out letters telling ladies about the shower and got them to send gifts to my mother in law, who wrapped them and brought them to the shower! We were SO blessed! While I was opening gifts I said, "I need to take a break I'm getting so tired from opening all these gifts!"
Like I said before the shower was absolutely gorgeous, my sister in law and her husband went to the woods and cut down branches and went all out! All the wood pieces were collections from the woods, they're amazing!
My mom, grandma and dear friend Amber all flew in for my shower! They got in on Monday and stayed until Friday, that was a lot of fun and I'm so grateful that they came!
There were also many ladies from other churches that came out to celebrate this little guy with us, as well as ladies in our church.
From the woodsy decor to the delicious pasta salad, every detail was amazing!
I'm so grateful for all who came out and supported us and for all those who sent gifts! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Now here's some pictures
Look at all those gifts!
Justin's sisters husband, Andy made us that sign, I just love it!

My sister Amy made those and sent them to my mother in law. How adorable are those? Home made things are the best!
Amber and I. She was a huge help, plus she made me laugh a lot.
The lady behind the decor, she did an incredible job!

Table decor and photos taken by my mama
This used to be in Justin's room when he was a little boy. His mom asked me if I wanted it and I said YES, I love it! She touched up some of the stitches and cleaned it. Clay painted and distressed the frame and they put it behind glass. I can't wait to hang it up in his little room!
Thank you all SO much for celebrating our little miracle with us! God is so good!
