Alice's First Shower

This past weekend we had a lovely shower hosted by Joey’s mom, Colleen and his niece, Sydney. It was a shower for the ladies in Joey’s family and it was really great to see everyone. Everyone was so generous and showered us with lots of goodies for little Alice. We got TONS of adorable clothes, things to last us until next summer even! Can’t wait to see her in some of her new little sundresses and rompers next summer…I’m hoping she’ll be good and chunky by then and can show off her sweet meat! We got some of the cutest bibs with all kinds of cute little sayings on them, bath time goodies, blankets, an awesome swing, a really cool mobile, the oh-so-handy dandy Baby Bjorn sling carrier thing. Which Joey has decided is perfect device for being able to hold the baby AND play cornhole and drink a beer during tailgate season. Yeah our priorities are right in line. We got her baby book so we can start filling that out, which I am promising myself to keep up with as she gets older. We’ll see. We got an adorable little wooden table and chairs for her, too, from Joey’s mom. It matches her room perfectly and will be a perfect little table for playing or snacking when she gets a little bigger. I forgot to get any good posed pictures with Joey’s fam, but the few that I did get are below. I had a great time and am blessed to have such loving in-laws. Now onto organizing all of Alice’s new gear.

Joey’s cousin’s precious little man, Tevin, was digging Alice’s new table and chairs.
