Springfield Baby Shower!

The Springfield Baby shower!!!!

My Mom and sisters (and soon to be sister-in-law) threw me the most beautiful baby shower! They really went above and beyond. They even rented linens to decorate the tables in the colors of Harper's nursery. My sister Sarah made these glorious diaper cakes. one of them took her two hours to make! Everything was so beautiful. The best part of all was having my family there. My Aunt and grandma and Uncle on my Dad's side drove down from Kansas City for the day, my Aunt and Grandma on my mom's side were there, plus lots of old friends from our neighborhood. Some had not met Brad yet and that was really fun. We then kicked out the guys and had the best time! Here are some snapshots from the party. It was such a wonderful way to celebrate Harper's impending arrival.

No, Stacy is not huffing. She is sniffing a diaper that has melted chocolate in it. My sister Sarah arranged a really cute game where you had to guess the type of candy bar that was melted into a diaper. It was gross, but fun. I got 5 out of 7 correct.

It was such a great day! I got a TON of books. Rachel encouraged everyone to bring a book instead of a card. I'll have a separate post for that. Thank you everyone for such a fun memory!
