Unfortunately, I didn't really get any good group shots at any of the showers, but thought I'd post the "candid" shots that I have! Again, thanks to everyone who attended or sent gifts...we're STILL getting gifts!! We have such fantastic friends and family!
Our first shower was at my mom's house, and was hosted by my mom and all 3 of my dad's sisters.
Among our many great gifts, we recieved a few very special "personalized" items!
The second shower was at Abby Wilson's house, and was given by the awesome girls in our Sunday School class at church. (I don't have any pictures of this one yet!)
The third shower was at work. All of my co-workers played "guess how LARGE Mandy is". It was quite an eye-opening experience, and I'm pleased to say that most of them guessed WAY over!!
Here's a picture of Gary and Leslie taking the "official" measurements.
Notice how some people expected me to be as wide as the table??!!
The fourth shower was at Matt and Ashley Raymer's house, given by my wonderful group of neighbor friends.
Here's a shot of some of the girls doing what we do best...standing in the kitchen chatting it up!
Michelle made adorable (and YUMMY) pink cupcakes, which complemented all of the other awesome food that was served! I never leave a neighborhood event without overeating due to all of the good cooks of Crown Harbor!
And here's a picture of some of the gifts...I received so many extremely thoughtful gifts and cards...
The fifth and final shower was at my Aunt Crystal and Uncle Terry's house, and was given by Crystal and my cousin, Shawnna, my mom (Pam), Gary's mom (Marian) and Gary's sisters (Melissa, Sabrina, and Sheryl).
Everything was perfect, complete with adorable "floating" centerpieces...as would be expected, our girls will be quick to recognize airplanes!
Princess Haley was escorted in by her Dad and her Uncle...:) It was a perfect night out by the lake!
I know there are a few of you who still claim you haven't seen my BIG belly, so here's a nice side shot...and cutting the wonderful cake!
Haley helped us open a gift or 2...she wasn't all that into this "little kid" stuff, though...she's such a big girl now!! :)
Among the many fantastic gifts and cards, we received little pink cowboy boots to match the ones grandma and grandpa got for Emmy Cate at her shower. We'll have some country superstars in just a few years!
Here are a few other candids as well...
We had such a great time at each shower! It was great seeing family and friends that we don't see that often, and, again, we're so thankful for the love and support from everyone! We look forward to introducing Macy and Makayla to their new friends and family soon!
