In this season of speaking out about all the blessings God has given it is not hard for me to write this post and share with you what I am thankful for! My mom, sister and a dear friend Diane DeWeese threw me a baby shower on Saturday November 13 in Emporia, KS. It was one of the greatest days of my life as family and friends gathered together to celebrate the precious miracle God has given to Ryan and me! We played games, ate delicious cake and punch, laughed, talked and celebrated God's goodness! Oh yes and opened gifts. WOW! As you can see by the pictures our family and friends completely went above and beyond in showering us with gifts for our sweet baby! As Ryan and I were going through the gifts, I was again amazed at how much people had blessed us! It is actually quite humbling that our family and friends love us, including Baby Lee, so much that they would give so generously! In my opinion, this is such an example of God's love showering down on us! From the bottom of our overflowing grateful hearts, thank you family and friends for blessing us with many gifts and love!
My sister made this adorable diaper cake for me! I loved it! Thank you Angela!
Cathy Jones, our treasured friend of many years and also my wedding cake baker, made this cake too! I love her dearly and especially love her cakes! This one was perfect for the shower!
Some of my Tabor friends were able to come too! Thank you, Heidi, Elisa and Kristina for coming to celebrate with us! That meant so much to me!
A hilarious game, guessing how big my belly was! As you can see, my friend Kay Rowland thought I was MUCH bigger than I actually was.
Do you see what I am talking about with being extremely blessed by an overflow of gifts?
Many family and friends made us blankets, which is very special to me and some of my favorite gifts! Above is the blanket that my dear friend Cherilyn made! She is so good at cross-stitching and stared making this blanket for Baby Lee right after she found out we were expecting him/her! I absolutely LOVE it! Cherilyn drove up from Oklahoma to spend time with me and I give her all the credit for these pictures! What a blessings she is to me!
These are my sister's closest friends, who also love and support me! I so enjoyed having them there and celebrating with us this new addition to our family!
Thank you Mom and Angela for giving me such a special baby shower! I had so much fun and thank God for both of you! I can't wait for you to meet Baby Lee-you have already spoiled him/her WAY too much! I love you both so much!
And this is my favorite picture of the day! My brother wasn't there for the actual shower but he did come after for cake and punch! I just love that he is touching my belly and giving love to Baby Lee and me! He is going to be an awesome uncle and I thank God that Joseph is in my life!
