We had a shower at Keith's parents house this weekend hosted by his sisters. We got tons of great stuff and got to spend lots time with family. Keith's mom got us a giant giraffe for Vince's room. I think it's about 4 1/2 ft tall. It goes great with all of his other stuff. I walked in to their house and almost immediately saw the giraffe. I love it! Andrea made some really cute favors with yummy smelling bath salts in them. She used one of the pictures that my mom drew as the cover for it. I don't have a picture of them yet seeing as I forgot them at Keith's parents house along with my phone. :) But when I get them today or tomorrow I will post a pic of them. It was such a great idea and I love that she used something that my mom did. I don't know where you found the time to do them Andrea but I LOVE them! Marcey and Jake made most of the food with some help from Keith's mom, Sherry. Of course it was delicious! We had pasta salad with homemade pesto, homemade chicken salad sandwiches, veggies and dip, hummus, fresh fruit, yummy cheeses and more that I can't think of right now. For the cake, they used the pictures that my mom did for me again. It was all very personalized and thoughtful and I loved it! You girls are awesome. Oh, and not to forget Mandy, who did the invitations. I'm posting a pic of what they looked like. She is so creative and they are so cute. Thanks! Keith and I feel very lucky and blessed to have such great friends and family. Both showers so far have been great and we have received so much and are very thankful to all of you. We love you!!

These animals came from the pictures that my mom did for me that are hanging in Vince's room!
This is what the invitation looked like except it had the shower information on it. Loved it!
His name is Dirk. :)
He's huge! Just a different view.
The Safford gang got him these. So cute!
Along with these three outfits
Thanks Nan...these are adorable!
These outfits from Nan are newborn and so tiny. :)
Gail and Bobby got him a Bumbo Seat. Thanks! Gail also made the wrapping paper that it came in. I saved some of it and will take pics of it later. I loved it Gail...thanks!
Trace, Jen and the rest of their clan got us a Boppy. Can't wait to use it.
Mandy, Scott, Jolie, and Nina got Vince all of his bath time supplies. Thanks guys!!
I love these socks. Thanks Brandy and Chloe.
Thanks Kassie. :)
I love these and the robe that came with them.
Mackie thought he needed to be in a picture too. You should have seen the dogs when we brought that giraffe in. They didn't quite know what to think of it and had to sniff around it for quite awhile. I'm pretty sure if we left the door to Vince's nursery open that we would come home to pieces of giraffe and turtle everywhere! :)
It was a great shower. The food was great, the cake was adorable and so were the favors. Keiths side of the family is so creative and fun! I loved all your gifts and the giraffe is so cute!
ReplyDeleteJen, it was our pleasure to give you guys a shower! I am so glad you liked the cake and favors. The artwork your Mom did is so adorable and I just had to use it - Thanks Jan! We love you guys and can't wait to meet little Vince!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid Dirk might scare lil Vinny :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, it might be a little scary for him to wake up to Dirk every day when he gets older and sleeps in his crib. Hopefully he's not scared of it because it looks so cute in his room. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch cute stuff! I'm sorry we weren't able to make it but it looks like you had a really great time. The giraffe is awesome - I'm surprised your dogs didn't pee on it. That's what mine would do. :) Because of the digging in my backyard, we now have remote controlled shock collars. Not a big hit. I'll have to tell you about it this weekend. Looking forward to seeing you guys!
