Baby Shower update

As promised, here are the pictures that I was able to gather from the showers of love that friends, family, and coworkers gave for Eli. 

April 6th-Nick's family put together a shower with family and friends.  I've tried really hard to get more pictures, but apparently nearly everyone forgot their cameras.  Kristin got a few on her phone, but had to go to Brady's first soccer game (where he was basically the MVP on the team b/c he scored, not once, but TWICE!). 


Look closely-the top left pane has an E (which someone is pointing out for me) and the bottom right has a J.
Kristin is SO crafty!
 Here are the receiving blankets she made too:
Ella helped me open gifts and we all had a good time.  I thought it was so sweet, definitely SUCH a surprise.  (I was told I was going to Maycee's 1st birthday party, which was really later that day.)  Looking back, I really should've seen that I was being duped; there were many times that I should've seen it.  Walking in, "Are you here for the baby shower?" "No, first birthday party."  huh.....walking through the room fully decorated so we could enter behind all the guests, who had to turn around and yell surprise.  Or my mom, messing it up and giving it away, but me just chalking it up to mom being confused....which often happens, so it was believable....

May 5th-"School Crisis Meeting" Lewis & Clark's Covert Opp for Sprinkle for Susan Shields and me-I tried to sneak in the back, seriously only one minute late, embarrassed to be late for yet another meeting, only have everyone again turn and yell surprise at me--the opposite of being hidden.  Here are the pics that I have from that:
Again, this was taken as I rushed in saying, "Sorry I'm late!" and then was speechless.

Look at all that swag!


I thought it was so sweet that even all the guys came to our baby shower!

Charlie Henke's wife, Heather, made burp cloths and a diaper cover for part of the gift.  I LOVE them!
