Surprise Shower
Posted in Adoption, Family on 08/04/2009 12:36 pm by CaceyLast Thursday my mom planned a little family get-together to visit with my sister Brooke who just returned from a 3 month mission trip to Ukraine. Or at least that’s what I was told! Aaron seemed anxious to leave on time and when we arrived I was puzzled why so many cars where there, but assumed I had just misunderstood and other friends were invited to see Brooke too. When I walked through the door I was shocked to say the least – it was a surprise baby shower for Emma! I have never been so surprised in my life – I didn’t suspect a thing (so much so I hadn’t bothered to fully put my make-up on). 
It was planned and hosted by both Grandmas and lots of aunties. They did an amazing job putting effort into every detail. It was a very special evening and I was extremely blessed by the outpouring of love!!
Since it was a surprise I didn’t have my camera with me so I’ll post pic’s of the actual shower later. For now here are a few of the goodies she received…
Lots of adorable little girl dresses and outfits – she will be well dressed!
Sweet little bows, ribbons and accessories – so cute!
Her first baby doll from Auntie Marie, Uncle Christian and Cousin Addy! Behind her is a special cuddly pink and brown blanket from Nana – we’re planning on taking both to Ethiopia for Emma to enjoy right away!
We also received several large/group gifts - a double stroller so I can still walk at the park with two little ones, a new car seat, a pack n’play (I borrowed on for Spencer so it’s great to have my own) and a red wagon both kids can sit in! I was BLOWN away by the generosity of our friends and family – we received so many amazing gifts and are now completely prepared for our little gir’ls arrival! Thank you everyone!
