Finn’s Shower
How lucky are we? We have such a wonderful family. They threw us a baby shower for Finnegan today under the guise of Jessie’s birthday party (her birthday is next week). We both had suspicions that it wasn’t exactly a birthday party but I think we were both very surprised to see the scale of the shower. There were close to 30 people there! Mom and Dad Mannering had it at their house and there was so much stuff. All kinds of food and drink and a tasty cake from Serpe’s. And the gifts. I don’t think we need anything more for Finn now! We got his bedding set for the crib, a car seat and base, high chair, all types of stuff to deck out his room with a nautical theme, diapers, a mobile, and I don’t even know everything else. We have a list of who gave us what so we can send thank you cards. I did not expect so much stuff. Our family is very VERY generous. So many baby clothes too, some of them have very cute sayings and pictures on them.
I’d love to see pictures from the shower. Christy was the center of attention so she did not have her camera with her but we were constantly blinded by flashes going off so we know there are tons of pictures. I know we’ll get them emailed to us soon and they’ll be uploaded to Flickr not long after that.
It all started about 1:30 and we didn’t leave until after 6 and needless to say we were all exhausted. I don’t know how Christy does it and I don’t know how she’s still awake at this moment. But she is. Sitting on the couch helping Brae play World of Warcraft. I’ve got a lot to do tomorrow. We have a lot of stuff I need to find places for. A lot of baby stuff needs to be washed and I should be able to get Finn’s room all finished by tomorrow night which is really exciting. I know Christy has been wanting it to be done now and we just hadn’t gotten all the stuff we needed. But boy do we have it all now. I think the nursery is going to look really really good once everything is in there. I know pictures of that will definitely be put online.
We’re very fortunate to have such a loving family. Thank you to everyone who made today so awesome. It means a lot to us!
