Ohio Baby Shower

Last weekend we went to Ohio for a wonderful weekend - filled with visits with friends, a baby shower and a cruise through the county fair.  It was all really great but I'll start off with pictures from the shower. 
Mom and Kelly threw the shower for me (and Brandy ended up helping I think just as much) and it was just perfect.  They hosted it at the home that is part of our church, which is great b/c it comes complete with large rooms, serving dishes and a beautiful setting.  So first the details...

The spread



Diaper cake and gifts for guests


Shower gifts for guests - a cookie cutter and family recipe for cut-out cookies



Amazing stack of gifts
In addition to all the food, and gifts and decorations there were alot of wonderful people who came to the shower including alot of mom's good friends who have watched me grow up, my Aunt Jackie, my Grandma and a few of her sisters


my closest cousin, Julie and her adorable oldest, Ella...



And good friends from High School (more on them later) and of course my BFF, Brandy who made the drive with me.


Mama Sue came after her 70th Class Reunion (which she planned!)


I had a great time introducing everyone to each other, visiting with familiar faces, and getting so much good advice from so many amazing moms.  It was really a GREAT shower.  :)



All put together by the greatest mom and sister a girl could ever ask for


Afterwards I think Kelly was a little bit worn out..


But a great time was had by all..


And I think Brandy was glad she made the trip... (we had a GREAT time together ALL weekend.  A girl is pretty lucky to have a BFF like her!)
