family baby shower

On Saturday, Michael’s family had a double baby shower for cousin Nicole and me! Nicole had her little boy in March, but she lives soooo far away (Vermont!) that she didn’t get to have a family shower before.

Michael and Nicole have always been close cousins. Look how cute they are!

Michael even got a little practice holding her baby!

My mom brought these pretty balloons and flowers to decorate.

So many of my favorite people were there, including Lelia, my mom, and Auntie Joyce! I love this picture because it really captures everyone’s true personality.

We played a fun “mad lib” game, which told stories about Nicole and I going into labor. In my stories I ended up going to the gym while having contractions. Somehow that sounds almost realistic!

Munchkin made out like a bandit and got a lot of clothes, books, pacifiers, blankets and hats. She doesn’t need any more clothes until she is about 6 months old!

The best part of everything was just spending time with my family. Lelia missed her “Daddy Dinosaur” (her nickname for Michael). I’ve missed seeing them together.

Of course we had to do a “dinosaur family” shot.

And then we had to include Jeffrey… Haha!

Thanks so much to everyone who came!
