Baby Shower!

This past Saturday was crazy busy! It was baby shower day! I had been looking forward to this day my entire pregnancy. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the decorations or food, but I'll try to give you a mental picture.

My baby shower theme was country with mason jars, light yellows and pinks. The center pieces for the tables were a variety of wicker baskets, boxes, large mason jars filled with wash clothes rolled up to look like cake rolls. We used these as gifts also.

Our "thank you" favors were jelly canning jars filled with home made laundry soap.

We did a diaper raffle and the winner took home a $25 gift card.

The food was probably the best part. We didn't have your typical finger food and such. We had a 5 course breakfast! On the menu was pancakes, French toast, biscuits and gravy, eggs, bacon, sausage, and a beautifully large and amazing fruit tray. There was pop, coffee, and orange juice to drink.

Overall amazing!

We had probably close to 100  people show up. Family and friends that I haven't seen in far too long.

Rylee was spoiled with tons of gifts! Everything from clothes, blankets, diapers, car seat, stroller, mattress, crib, bouncer, and a thousand other things. Blessed beyond measure!

The cake was delicious! It was a belly bump cake with 3 different flavors! Oreo, chocolate ho-ho, and vanilla with a raspberry cream filling. Mmmmmm.

A huge thank you to my mom and nana for throwing the best baby shower ever! They really out did themselves.

Now for a few pics of family and friends, but first me and my hot hubby! Side note: this dress was super hard to get into, but was actually the comfiest and cutest thing I've ever worn. Showing off them new found curves!

My family: Dad, Mom, Whitney, Levi, and Raechel, me, and Casey. 
The "grandma's" 
Gigi and nana. 
The "grandpa's"
Great great grandpa, poppy(my dad-middle) and great grandpa. 
High school friends! 
Alycia and Liz.
This girl right here drove 4 hours to make it to my baby shower! She is my best friend and I don't know what I would do without her. 
The whole gang.
This is one of the food pictures I did get because if you know me at all- fruit is my life. I literally was going to just take this to my table.
My second favorite thing is cake so naturally I had to get a picture of this awesomeness. Seriously though, you see how big the boobs are on this thing?! There the same size as the belly. Ha!
Just a few of my favorite gifts from our shower. I. Love. This. Car. Seat! My husband actually picked it out himself. He was drawn to the lime green color first and then fell in love with the fabric. I loved both those aspects as well.
This is the stroller we got. Fits with the car seat. 
Okay so I know our travel system doesn't match, but let me tell you why. The stroller that went with the car seat we wanted-we hated. It was more like an umbrella stroller. Which would be better for older kids. The car seat that went with that stroller we got-we hated. We almost caved and got it because it matched but I couldn't stand the feel of the fabric and I just loved the green. So here that is..
Need I elaborate? My husband and I both love the TMNT'S. Guess what her Halloween outfit is?!
Cute baby bouncer!
I'm obsessed with this diaper bag. It wasn't the one I registered for, but my cousin who got me this bag has the one I wanted (she hates it and how it functions so she knew I would to) so she found this one that's pretty much identical but bigger and better in every way. I can't thank her enough for doing that. Once again I love this fabric and color!
And lastly,  my custom made baby shower invites I ordered off etsy.  This helps you give a better idea of the theme.  
That's all for now folks,  I'll be back with a post on some of our maternity pictures we had done this past weekend.  Your going to live them!
