A couples shower for babywagon

Our second shower for our sweet little boy was hosted by some of our amazing friends on March 9 (exactly two months before our due date!).  We feel so blessed to be surrounded by not only amazing friends, but so many great couples who we can call our best friends.  We both had a blast at this shower, and the details of it were just so sweet.  The shower was a travel theme, and the decorations and food were amazing!  We were given so many things for the baby, and are certainly feeling quite blessed.  Here are some pictures.  

We registered for these airplanes and our sweet hostess got them for us.  We are so excited to put them in the nursery!!!

Our first shower for Babywagon!!

On February 16th we had our very first shower for the baby!  To say it was fun was truly an understatement!  I had such a blast.  It was so wonderful to see everyone that came, and we got some truly special and exciting gifts.  Our wonderful hosts (Amy, Jerene, Kris, Candice, and Susan) really went above and beyond.  Everything was absolutely beautiful.  It's best to just show you b/c I can't do it justice with words.

Every detail was perfect.  Isn't this the cutest entry way? 

Everyone decorated onesies with ties and bowties.  Too cute! ;) 

And also left messages on the back of some diapers.  Hilarious! 

I think Amy managed to make sure everything had a mustache or a bow tie.  It was adorable! 

Loved the Babywagon banner! :) 

Baby Bryan!

Another gorgeous banner.  And check out that amazing diaper cake!  Many thanks to Kristina and her mom for the most creative diaper cake ever!

They had pictures of the men in our families when they were kids.  That's my dad! :) 

Susan and Candice hard at work - such great hostesses! 

All of my Coke ladies - so thankful they all came!

Opening presents. :) 

We got some great stuff!

Aunt Amy got him his little monkey bouncer! 

Kristina was sewing up a storm for Babywagon!

Love all the cute clothes!

Loved all the thoughtful gifts!

My and my friend (and co-worker) Lauren.  She's about 7.5 weeks ahead of me.  It's been such fun to share our pregnancies with each other.

Everyone (except Amy and Jerene who were acting as photographers) with their mustache mugs. 

Moses basket from Aunt Judy - gorgeous!!

Jerene crocheted this blanket for the baby!!  How special is that?  

Me with all the wonderful hostesses!!  Sad that Kris couldn't be there, but thankful she could be with her family. 

We feel so loved by everyone's excitement and generosity.  It is truly overwhelming to see so many people who share in our excitement over this little one's arrival!! We have another shower coming up on March 9th, and we are looking forward to sharing in that excitement with even more friends! :)
