Showered with Kindness

Carmen with Kalyn, Me (duh!) and Kristie

My sister-in-law Kristie so kindly put together an awesome Baby Shower for me, and managed to do so while being out of town 2-3 days a week for the past month. Wow! She rocks! We had a great time with family and friends, played fun games and ate yummy stuff! Baby Devin got lots of new goodies, as well as his own starting collection of onesies and rompers so that he wouldn't have to wear his older brothers' hand-me-downs.

Many special thanks going out to....

...Kristie, for hosting the shower for Devin. It all came together superbly.
...My mom (who is always behind the camera and never in pictures) who printed the invites and took all of these fabulous photos for memories down the road.

...my sister-in-law Carmen for the 254 diapers
so nicely arranged in this Diaper Cake!

...my mother-in-law Carmen (yes, another Carmen) who prepared
the delicious "chilequiles" for us to enjoy.

...to Adrianna (spelling?) for the most awesome cake.
Congrats going out to her upon today's graduation from an elite
Pastry Chef School in San Francisco.She followed her dream and will get everlasting oohs and ahhs for her work.

...to Bianca, who was immediately robbed of her clothespins,
after finely demonstrating and handling all of the B-A-B-Y games.

...to Ana, Kalyn, Emma and Bianca for all their help catering to the "gift opening" extravaganza. Every mom-to-be needs a gift giver, card reader and collector, tissue paper handler and package-cleaner-upper!

...to Baby Luke, for being such a sport in
eagerly waiting for his cousin's arrival.

...to all who came to shower me and Baby Devin.
It meant a lot to be "pampered" (huggied?) with all of the kindness given.
