Very Special Day!

This weekend I traveled home to Danville to celebrate our first baby shower for little Al! :)  Charly Harris and her mama, Kathy (see below) put on the best shin dig at the Danville Country Club!  It was such a classy event and everyone commented that it was the best shower they had ever attended :)

The Beautiful Hostesses - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

The menu consisted of delicious mimosas, chicken crepes, fruit cups and a strawberry creme dessert. The favours were a huge hit: the most amazing raspberry cupcakes (from Shorty's Bakery)!  Memaw just couldn't get enough and had to go by the bakery after the shower to purchase some for herself and the Moorefields back in VA Beach!  MMmmm!!

The decorations were gorgeous and included mini diaper cakes in the centerpiece of each table with a bud vase in the center and beautiful flowers.  Charly and Kathy so thoughtfully used these as prizes for each table; the person who sat in the special chair with the tag underneath won the bud vase and flowers!

The games:  Guess the number of diapers in the hamper - Won by Pam Curtis
                   Guess the circumference of Erin's belly - Won by Cragan Burnett

There were so many special guests at the shower that I cannot begin to list them all, but I got to see everyone from my neighbors (who I NEVER see!) to my kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Farley!  Many of my family's friends from before I was even born attended as well as my mother's friends from school!  Thank you so much to everyone who made this day super special.  I only wish we were able to spend more time together!

The Prettiest Baby I Know - Ms. Lily Borloz

Friday before the shower we had the best time at San Marcos for dinner.  Charly and her mama and pops, my mom and dad, memaw, Lily and Ashley Borloz joined us.  So wonderful!  Lily is just the most precious baby and is so content and easy to be around!  Charly and I hope our little boogers are this perfect!!

Beautiful Bib, Burp Cloth and Paci Holders from the Rudders!  THANK YOU!!

GiGi's Blanket

I don't know how mom had time to make this gorgeous blanket without my knowing, but it is so, so special and I cannot wait to bring Al home from the hospital in it!  Thank you, GiGi!  So lucky to have such a talented mama!!

Gigi, Erin and Al

It's times like this weekend when you are overcome with how wonderful people are and how fortunate you are to have them in your lives!  Thank you Memaw for driving all the way to Danville to celebrate!  Thank you again Charly and Kathy for putting on the best first baby shower a woman could ask for!  Thank you to all family and friends who made this perfect!  I hope that you all had a great time!
