My wonderful coworkers threw me an amazing shower on February 18, 2011. It too was filled with fun and games. They had intended on making this a surprise shower - until my Doctor threw in a surprise of her own - - bedrest!!! So they let the cat out of the bag - and we had a wonderful time!!! These are beautiful cookies handmade and decorated by Janet's sister, Kathy. Aren't they adorable? I love the "Liam" letters, the ones with the little footprints, the "Gada's Baby Shower" one, and well all of them! So sweet and delicous!!! Beautiful cake from RJ Goodies - the colors even match his nursery!! What an amazingly generous gift this was - a money tree!! I have never seen anything so beautiful! My talented friend and co-worker, Sheryl, made this and the money was donated by all of my amazing co-workers. This literally left me speecheless. Phil and I could not feel more blessed!! An adorable camo outfit we received!!! Diaper cake preparped with Love by Lori!! Sheryl's talented work!! She actually found the fabric we used to make the nursery bedding. What a thoughtful and beautiful gift - best of all - it was lovingly handmade!!! A beautiful handmade diaper wreath made by my super sweet friend Janet - so crafty!!! Here are some pictures of me with some my guests! My mom came to the shower with me to meet all of my coworkers - she had just as much fun as I did!! A picture with me and all of the hostesses.
