Baby Showers

My mom, my best friend from high school Lindsay and my sister all put on a great baby shower in Hood River on March 27, 2010. It was so great to have everyone there. My mom's boyfriend, Mark, made all of the food, which was of course fabulous. My grandpa's wife, Harriet, let us use her house to host the shower. We all had so much fun! The baby gifts were great. Bristol got a ton of cute clothes, she will be clothed for at least 2 years. My sister went a bit overboard, but I think that is what first time aunts do. She was unable to attend the shower, she lives in California and wanted to be here for the birth, but she sent a huge box filled with adorable little girl outfits. She spoiled her rotten! My mom bought us a stroller and car seat, but then also gave me cute dresses that I wore as a little girl. My favorite thing was 2 little sweaters that my grandma Kelly made that my mom wore when she was little. So sweet!

My good friends Stephanie Shambaugh and Cindy Aldredge threw me a baby shower in Salem on April 10, 2010. Stephanie hosted at her club house. I had a lot of friends from my ward attend as well as some good friends from the Portland area. I also had a lot of Sam's family attend which was awesome. It was great to have everyone there. Stephanie and Cindy planed a Cafe Rio lunch with a fun game about me! There were so many cute outfits that we received as well as stuffed animals. Tom and Tracy bought us an awesome pack and play, which is in use right now as a bassinet. It works so well to have that next to our bed. Also, we received a diaper genie, which is great, and a whole bin of baby essentials, from my friend Lori. We all had a great time chatting and eating yummy food.

Thank you everyone for all the wonderful gifts for Bristol. She is getting such great use out of every one of them!!
