Baby Shower

For all of you who follow our blog from outside the US, we have a fun American tradition of having a "Baby-shower".
A "Baby-shower" is when parents or expectant parents receive gifts for their newborn or expected child in the USA. The party is intended to help parents get items that they need for their baby, such as baby clothes. This event is traditional in the United States. Other countries and cultures celebrate an expected birth or newborn in other ways.
Anyway, we had our first ever, baby-shower yesterday! My cousins and Aunt were nice enough to throw a shower for us. It was great!

Thank you so much Heather, Jenn, Bailey and Marcia for everything!!

We had a number of family and friends that came to celebrate with us! ... thank you very much to all that came for your friendship, support and awesome gifts.
