We had the BEST baby shower EVER!!!! I had a great time! The hostesses did a great job. We had a little bit of drama with the weather but it ended up working out great. It snowed like crazy the Thursday/Friday before the shower so we were questioning what to do about whether we should cancel/move it/ or what? Merry Beths house (the person’s house it was supposed to be at) is after somewhat of a hill and there was no way people could park in her yard with all that snow and ice! So we all decided it would be best to move it to the church Fellowship Hall. I have to admit – I was pretty bummed. I thought that no one would come due to the weather and that all the hostesses’ hard work would go to waste. Well – the hostesses called EVERYONE on the invite list the Saturday before to let them know it was moved! Isnt that the sweetest?

So it ended up that actually most of the people invited got to come!!! Even Mollie came from Tulsa, Aunt Patti from Fayetteville, and Allie from Little Rock. I told them I was flattered that they “risked their lives” to come to the shower! Then I was beyond excited when I got there and saw that they had transformed the fellowship hall and made it as cozy as possible. And so personal! It was ALL ABOUT REBEKAH!

We got so much stuff. I didn’t realize exactly how much until we got home and started unpacking everything and I had to quit – I was so overwhelmed. And exhausted. I opened presents for an hour and a half straight! It became so surreal when we were unpacking everything that we’re HAVING A BABY!!! OUR baby – not just something we can play dress up with and give to someone else when it cries. Ha! We are stoked though. Just a little overwhelmed.

Thanks to EVERYONE who came to the shower and to all the awesome hostesses who made it the best shower ever!!!!
