tagg's baby shower

last night was tagg's long-awaited baby shower. my dear friend, nan, made these adorable invitations for it. jessica and becky did an absolutely fabulous job throwing the whole thing. it was a complete blast!


kirsten, me, and jill. i loved catching up with my friends. tagg was a huge trooper throughout the entire night. i never heard him make a peep! he just got passed around from lady to lady and loved every minute of it.


earlier that day, my mom and i were at the mall. she was holding tagg when a lady walked by and said, "wow, you look great for just having a baby!" my mom then proceeded to tell her that the baby was actually her grandson and that's when she was really blown away. all i can say is that i hope i look half as beautiful as my mom does when i am her age!


the sweet rands/kettle family. they put so much time into my shower, it was amazing. also, jessica's little boy, max, is about the cutest thing i have ever seen. i love him.


my auntie brooke and janice, sitting around while i opened presents. nan made the little sign above their heads. it was made out of a bunch of pictures of tagg that she decoupaged onto the letters. so adorable.


there is tagg, just being a good boy.

the genius theme for the shower was baby birds in nests. everything matched down to the smallest details and it was all so beautiful. the food was great and the decorations would have made martha stewart chartreuse with envy.


i received a ton of amazing gifts at the shower. but only one brought me to tears...... my grandma made this beautiful quilt for tagg. she had everyone in the family write a wish for tagg on a fabric square. she then pieced all of the squares together to make this fantastic keepsake. i/tagg will cherish this forever.



my mom did it again! she surprised me, at the shower, with this quilt for tagg. i am in love with all of the colors she used in it. perfection! tagg and i had a great time at his shower. we are so blessed.
