On August 8th, my mom and sister threw a family shower for Peanut and me. The invitations had an elephant and were really cute. They found some fabulous elephant decorations! There was an elephant diaper cake (including a bib that said "Little Peanut!"), elephant baby book (which I never even thought to register for one), they baked elephant sugar cookies, and even had an elephant gift bag. They also had a clothesline of baby clothes – Peanut even has some new threads to wear next summer!
We played a few games and got to visit with some family we hadn't seen in a while. They also made the diaper cake themselves! It took a long time to dis-assemble so I can't even imagine how long it took them to make it.
We got lots of great stuff, including some hand-made blankets. One of them was from my cousin Maria. It's a football blanket and orange and blue for the Bears (Mike's favorite team). She also made a special pillow for us to put in Peanut's room. It says "Lots of love from above" and "Love Grandpa Dave" on the back. I had asked her to make something special from Grandpa Dave.
This is Mike's sister Angi and his mom Jill with the pillow.
My mom and sister did such a great job making this day special for me. They even had a craft of decorating onesies which was really fun!
