Oohhh To Be Showered Again!

On Saturday my wonderful aunts Colleen and Teresa and cousin Ali hosted a baby shower for the boys and I. It was a great time with a mix of family and friends. Even though my sister Mary, sis in law Faye, Aunts Glenda, Kathy, and Maridee, and friend (practically sister) Sheena couldn't be there, they still sent their generous gifts our way. So Tim and I are sending our Thank You hugs their way! We are definitely ready for these baby boys now with the help of the shower gifts. Charlie gave me good luck stickers before I left the house so you will see two stickers on my belly in the pictures.
Thanks again to Colleen, Teresa, and Ali for a wonderful party with exceptional food and company!

The before picture of our bumps. Amanda is due Aug 24th and has survived 11 wks of bedrest. It meant a lot that she was there!

Opening gifts - The boys' blankets that my mom made (she made Charlie a new blankie with the scraps of his brothers' blankies)

A new carseat!!! Thanks ladies

Baseball outfits that we are sure Tim's Uncle Eric picked out!

Thanks Ali for the diaper cake - Loved it! (she added TWINS items to it)

The babies' Great Grandma Millie and our great friend Jeanne trying to decide how big my belly is.

The babies' Nama was the closest one to the right size. She may have an advantage doing this for a living :)

Who can suck the fastest?

Boys' Nama Linda, Ali, Julie, and Kristi

Our spread of a "Haggar" style lunch

My mom and Charlie made meat pies (oh my goodness) and Aunt Teresa made baklava (amazing) along with tons of other delicious goodies from Ali and Colleen

Charlie had his own shower when we got home. I was so touched that so many people wanted Charlie to have a "big brother" gift because the babies were getting things. He was so excited and had to use everything last night. Tim and I are going to surprise him with his own camera at the hospital because he loves pictures so much. I can't wait to see what he captures.
