Baby shower time!


Avery & I had an amazing baby shower thrown for us this weekend...so blessed to have so many great friends & family that care about us! <3


Cake, food, decor, everything was perfect!



 Many wonderful friends came!



Family, too!  And my hostesses couldn't have done a better job!



We got spoiled with lovely gifts!


Avery's nursery made it's debut as well!  Pictures still don't manage to capture it's true color, but you get the drift...and everyone loved it!  Mom made Brian a daddy's survival bag, which was awesome as well!  The shower was more than I had hoped for!  Now to get some of the few basics we need & then all we need is a baby!
